Fresh off the back of releasing his stunning debut album Glovemaker earlier this year via Secretly Canadian, the exquisite Loren Kramar announces plans to return to the UK and Europe for a run of headline shows in November.
Kicking things off in The Hague for the Netherlands’ Crossing Border Festival, Loren will then bring his captivating live show to the UK for dates in Brighton, Manchester and London, before rounding things off in Paris at Pitchfork Festival. Festival dates are on sale now, with the UK dates on sale this Wednesday, October 9th at 10.00am HERE. The shows come after a dazzling run earlier this year that saw him play at London’s The Grace & a special show at The Blue Basement: Third Man Records.
“I forgot my portable garment steamer in London when I was playing a show there in June so it feels good to be able to come back and build a tour around that retrieval, " explains Loren. “It should also be noted that those summer shows in London were among the most generous and rowdy I’ve ever played, so I’m ready to deepen my love with the city as well as meet the good folks of Brighton and Manchester.”
If the Chateau Marmont could sing. This would be it. Loren Kramar’s voice vibrates with the shameless hum of a room after a celebrity exits. Ecstatic aspiration. Doubt. Proximity. Desire. Debut album Glovemaker is about the skins we craft to be seen by the world, and Loren reminds us that we are all in drag. All exposed. No matter what gloves we slip on.
The album birthed tracks like the “lush, biting, opulent” (Stereogum) ‘Hollywood Blvd’ and the “velvet-smooth” (Interview) title track ‘I’m A Slut’ is an ambitious, self-assured anthem about pursuing passion despite any obstacles. The clip for the song may go down as indie’s most expensive video, filled with a trio of Birkins and choreography by Julia Crockett.
Kramar's music is a testament to the sheer beauty of his voice, characterised by a warm, confident timbre reminiscent of Old Hollywood legends. With a penchant for grand, dramatic melodies, Kramar channels the likes of his former tourmate, Father John Misty and Lana Del Rey, seamlessly intertwining celebration and critique of the enigmatic world of fame, glamour, and artistry.
Born and bred in the heart of Los Angeles, Kramar's upbringing immersed him in both the art and artifice of the entertainment industry. Reflecting on his journey, Kramar muses, "There's almost a self-created fanfic that comes with imagining oneself as a star. It's a coping mechanism against insecurity and shame... that I am enough, that I have value as a person outside of being an artist."
With new music to come, and an extremely exciting 2025 on the horizon, November’s shows will surely be the last chance to see Loren’s incredible live show in such an intimate setting.
