Praise for fata morgana
“A triumph.” – Stereogum, Album of the Week
“fata morgana reaffirms the guiding impulse of L’Rain’s music. Although it offers a smoother journey compared to the jagged collages of her past work, it’s a voyage only Taja Cheek could helm: bleak and blissful, dark and playful, not jazz but open to the occasional blue note.“ – Pitchfork, 8.2/10 Best New Album
“It’s a testament to the craft involved that it never feels forced… simply an artist trusting their instincts to make some of the best music of their career.” – The Skinny, 4/5 Stars
“Cheek achieves a strange kind of equilibrium, thriving in an environment that should be hostile to any kind of creative endeavour, let alone such brilliance.” – Our Culture, 4.5/5 Stars
“The intensity and explosivity of this track is something to behold.” – The Needle Drop
“A controlled cacophony of distorted guitars, thrashing percussion and L’Rain’s incantatory vocals.” – Clash
