Lorraine Leckie & Her Demons launch new album “Goddamn Outer Space”

Lorraine Leckie & Her Demons have made their most daring and immersive work yet with Goddamn Outer Space. It's a 36-minute trip that goes beyond the usual ways of telling stories in folk, rock, and movies. Their eighth studio album, which they made with guitarist and producer Hugh Pool, is more of an emotional landscape than a collection of songs. It's haunting and intoxicating because you never know what's going to happen next.

The first song on the album, "Goddamn Outer Space," is a spellbinding invocation that sets the mood right away. Leckie's voice pierces through layers of orchestral swells and grainy distortion, evoking a sense of being in an uncontrollable world. Next is "Revenge in the Animal's Eye," which has a primal beat. The raw guitars and pounding beat make you feel like you're rebelling in a way that is both personal and universal.

By the time "Otherside" comes on, it's clear that the album is a mix of chaos and clarity. The song moves between light and dark like a dream, and the melody grows with quiet emotion while Leckie's voice shows a rare moment of weakness. It's one of the best songs on the LP. It's a fragile, almost movie-like meditation that stays with you long after it's over.

When things aren't going well, "Thousands of Angels" and "Glorious Rain" are two songs that make you think. The sound and poetic images in them are almost holy. "Rebel Birds" brings back the edge with resilience and motion, and it captures the freedom and defiance that have always been a part of Leckie's work.

The next song, "Ancient City," is a textured song that makes you feel like you're walking through the ruins of memory. Then it goes up with "Rearrange the Stars." This song, which is another great part, shines with hope and quiet strength. It's cosmic, melodic, and very much like a person.

"I'm So Glad to See My Demons Again" is the last song on the album. It perfectly sums up Leckie's creative philosophy, embracing darkness, turning pain into poetry, and chaos into art. "Goddamn Outer Space" is a way to enter Leckie's world, where sound and spirit meet. It's brave, personal, and unique, showing how strong it is to create without knowing the outcome.
