I Killed Your Dog

Description

Over-writing themes of grief and identity that informed her previous work, ‘I Killed Your Dog’ considers what it means to hurt the people you love the most. Multi-layered in subject and form, L’Rain’s sonic explorations interrogate instead how multiplicities of emotion and experience intersect with identity. The experimental and the hyper-commercial; the expectation and the reality; the hope and the despair. Described by L’Rain’s Taja Cheek as an ‘anti-break-up’ record, ‘I Killed Your Dog’ takes the universal pop theme of love as its starting point – bold, bratty and even a touch diabolical – and inspects it through the form of a conversation with her younger self, untangling her relationship with femininity and the formal musical conventions that others have come to expect of her.
