“Theatrical, elliptical, and bewitching . … Every harmony, loop, and skit engorged with verve.” —Pitchfork

In the great tradition of live concert albums, acclaimed experimental pop/rock artist L’Rain presents a very special night at the Walker. The Brooklyn–based multi-instrumentalist assembles her full band for a show that is part concert, part cross-disciplinary video performance. Drawing on influences from Brahms to J Dilla, Philip Glass to Animal Collective, L’Rain recasts known pop forms into abstract narratives and impressionist gestures. L’Rain – Live at the Walker gives audiences the rare opportunity to witness the making of a live album and to shape the space in which it is born.

Featuring: Timothy Angulo (drums, percussion), Ben Chapoteau-Katz (music director, synths, sax, voice), Taja Cheek (guitar, bass, lead vocals, loops), Justin Felton (guitar), Andrew Lappin (engineer, producer), Zach Levine-Caleb (guitar, bass, voice), Andy Swartz (director)
