‘Home’ by LAIMA is going to be a special record for multiple reasons. Here’s the title track:

Pre-order the album here: https://AWAL.lnk.to/LaimaHome Laima, announces the conceptual double vinyl debut album 'Home' to be released on November 8th 2019 via DEEWEE & The Vinyl Factory. Featuring beats from Iggor Cavalera and production from the Dewaele brothers. There are two key elements that make ‘Home’ such a distinctive project. Thematically it explores how the two core contrasts that inform Laima’s life can coexist. On one hand it’s about domesticity – her love for her family and her frustration with domestic routine. Yet on the other, it’s about her creativity – her desire to express herself artistically while still tending to her role as a mother and a housewife. “It's almost like a family photo album in another format,” says Laima. “I needed to find the balance in this dichotomy, to feel good with myself in both roles, and be aware of things that really mattered to me. To be a woman, a mum and a female producer: all of these feelings were in the music.” Sonically, ‘Home’ is also a striking proposition. It’s a package which features two records that are designed to be played simultaneously: Laima’s vocal and synth tracks on the ‘TONAL’ disc alongside Iggor’s beats on the ‘RHYTHMICAL’ record. Syncing two records offers an unconventional way to experience the music. Rather than passively hearing the music, the listener’s need to ritualistically sync both records makes for an immersive experience. 1 Power 2 Home 3 Anxiety 4 Future 5 Life And Dreams 6 Disco Pregnancy 7 Pairs 8 Primal 9 Before America 10 Poem Song for Iggor Written & Produced by Laima Leyton, David & Stephen Dewaele.

First of all, the music and words themselves, in which LAIMA explores the liminal spaces we live in. We are always on the threshold of the next moment, the next destination, our next feeling or desire. But at the same time, we are coming from somewhere, we are carrying our previous and present selves with us.

From the press clippings: “Thematically it explores how the two core contrasts that inform Laima’s life can coexist. On one hand it’s about domesticity – her love for her family and her frustration with domestic routine. Yet on the other, it’s about her creativity – her desire to express herself artistically while still tending to her role as a mother and a housewife.”

What does that sound like? Well, the title track is reminiscent of Laurie Anderson’s “O Superman”: electronic / electrifying, ritualistic poetry. It’s both intimate and expansive. Beats are by Iggor Cavalera, production is by Stephen & David Dewaele. Can’t wait to hear the entire album.

And this is where the second part of ‘special’ comes in. This LP is being released as a double vinyl. One record contains the words. The other one has the music. You have to play them both simultaneously to hear them come together. The listener is always part of the music and no two listens are exactly the same. Yep, DEEWEE just invented the perennially shapeshifting concept album. The record is about always being two people at once, so the record is two records at once. Brilliant stuff.
