Lorn's sophomore album Ask The Dust is out now (26 June in NA).

Listening back to his first album Nothing Else, Lorn says it now seems “cold and strict.” Ask The Dust, on the other hand, is “haunted, oily, smeared,” and with this description he captures something of the intensely felt, visceral aliveness of the music.

If Lorn began his musical career as a poet of alienation, then Ask The Dust (named after the 1939 proto-Beat classic novel of the same name by John Fante) sees his music develop a more human energy. In particular, the use of his own singing voice (a process which began on the last track of Nothing Else, “What’s The Use”), which has added a new dimension to his often crunching and brutal but never less than beautiful electronic music.

Ask The Dust is out now (26 June in NA) on limited edition Reel-to-Reel Tape (now sold out!), 2LP (cloudy grey vinyl), CD and download - buy now at the Ninjashop, iTunes and Amazon.
