Former alt-J bassist Gwil Sainsbury announces debut LOOR album with title-track "Waters"
LOOR, the project of ex-alt-J bassist Gwil Sainsbury, has announced his debut album with the title-track "Waters" as the lead single.
"Waters" is LOOR's first new offering since releasing his debut EP Nightland in November last year.
The new single lands with a psychedelic visual animated by Salvador Herrera.
Sainbury says of his forthcoming album, "I think I’m pretty influenced by a lot of psychedelic music, whether that’s electronic or whether that’s in jazz. I wanted to be independent, and able to produce what I wanted to produce by myself. And to me, it’s very much about a relationship to nature."
Waters is an album largely inspired by Sainsbury's own psychedelic experiences. He adds, "I feel like you’re downloading vast amounts of information. So I just wanted to make something that I felt reflected my own psychedelic experiences."
