LOOR unveils fresh cut "We Are Here"

09 April 2020, 12:29 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

LOOR, the project of former alt-J bassist Gwil Sainsbury, has shared his new single "We Are Here", which features on his forthcoming debut album Waters.

"We Are Here" is the fifth track to be lifted from Waters, after February's title-track, and previous tracks from his debut EP including "Leigh Woods", "Warm", and "Nightland".

LOOR says of his new single, ""We Are Here" is a track that came about from me thinking about humans - less as autonomous beings, and more like vehicles for microorganisms to explore the universe in. The video is Salvador Herrera’s visual representation of this idea - exploring human architecture and fleshy bodies as fluid, evolving spaces and structures."

Sainsbury 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."

LOOR's "We Are Here" single is out now. His Waters album is due for release via AWAL on 1 May. He plays The Waiting Room in London on 28 October.
