Today marks Bandcamp Friday, a cherished occasion when fresh releases from underground artists surface seemingly out of nowhere, falling upon listeners like a drizzle from the heavens. Consider the newest album from the London-based electronic producer Loraine James.

Today, James follows that release with another Bandcamp-exclusive surprise LP.

James announced the project on Instagram, writing, “Free Download. Only on Bandcamp.” I’m spinning it for the first time as we speak, and it carries the same prickly, immediate energy that defines James’s work. Listen below.
