LÖRI, born in Lima, Peru, embarks on a winding journey of creation, dissolution, and reformation. Emerging in 2013, this band's sonic evolution across punk, hardcore, post-hardcore, and crust defies musical boundaries and DIY conventions.
From their early EP to a full-length album in 2016, LÖRI's discography remains modest yet impactful. Their hiatus after 2019 couldn't quell their creative drive. Remote collaboration and a quest for new members shaped their path to the upcoming album release.
Hugo and Sajid, the band's core, orchestrated remote recordings, while the quest for a vocalist finally found a resolution with Nate's compelling lyrics. Amidst discussions within Berlin's music scene, Bianca and Donovan joined, heralding LÖRI's rebirth for new shows and music in Berlin.
The self-titled album, "LÖRI," slated for January 15, 2024, promises a 35-minute auditory journey. The first single, “V,” weaves emotional hardcore with post-rock, an allegory of a dreamer trapped in a utopian yet dehumanized world.
The album's narrative arc delves into the pursuit of absolute truth and its dehumanizing effects. A testament to international collaboration, it features recordings from Peru, Mexico, and Germany, masterfully mixed and mastered for exceptional sonic quality.
Hugo's influences from the French screamo scene echo similarities in Peru's music culture, grappling with misconceptions around the 'emo' and 'screamo' labels, a sentiment that resonates globally.
LÖRI's story embodies a spirit of perseverance and artistic resilience, navigating tumultuous paths and musical landscapes, inviting listeners into a world where reality blurs and sonic landscapes unravel.
