Loraine James Details New Album, ‘Detached From The Rest Of You’

It features Alan Sparkhawk, Tirzah and more

Loraine James has shared details of her fourth studio album, Detached From The Rest Of You.

Due for release via her long-time label home of Hyperdub, the 12-track record features contributions from Alan Sparhawk, Tirzah, Anysia Kim, Miho Hatori, Le3 bLACK and Fyn Dobson. New York-based artist Sydney Spann also provides vocals on lead single ‘In A Rut’, which you can listen to below.

Describing the record as her “IDM pop star album” in a press release, James said: “I’m using my voice a lot more, and putting it higher in the mix than I usually would. I guess I’m growing some confidence.”

The glitch-ridden music of Japanese artist such as Aoki Takamasa and Ryoji Ikeda is listed as an influence on the LP, which marks James’ first full-length release under her own name since 2023’s Gentle Confrontation.

Hyperdub will release Detached From The Rest Of You on 8 May 2026.
