A Connection

People often ask me why we do our music in English, why we operate in Tel Aviv while we’re originally from Jerusalem and how did Jerusalem affect our music and our growing up process in general.

Once, not so long ago, before the internet and the communication evolution that attacked us from every corner, musicians and listeners were limited with the music they’d consume, as it was filtered by many – from labels to music editors.

Today in 2011, the music market is one large global village where everyone has access to all music types – whether it is mega hits or avant-garde indie music.

I feel lucky for being born in Jerusalem. I think its peacefulness and the fact I had less external stimuli as a child had a lot of influence on how I experience music and art in general.

During our UK tour about a month ago, one of the compliments we kept hearing a lot was that we sound different. And although our music is supposedly very British in its style, the fact we’re from Israel still makes us sound and behave differently. I don’t think it is possible to separate the artist from where he/she was raised. The smells, sounds and views that escorted us during our childhood stay an inseparable part of our creation.

The main reason we operate in Tel Aviv and aim abroad is logistic and practical.

Wherever we make our music, “Jerusalem” will always stay in our veins.

Doing it all by yourself

There is a constant debate about the term indie music. Some say it's a music genre that describes modern alternative music.

Others say it’s just independent music, Which means that everything from the recordings, mixing, publishing etc is made by the artist him self/ with out the help of a record label or any other outside source.

This is how we do things in Lorena b; we do everything by ourselves and from our own pocket.

With all the difficulties that come with it, economical and emotional I believe that this way we keep the album as close as we can to our own artistically vision and taste.

Our debut album will be released on the 30.4 at Tmuna Theater

Followed with a short tour at the UK

Whether the album will be successful? This is for the listeners to decide.

I know for sure that we as a band are certain that this album is special and is made with our own tools and resources only

in my opinion,thats what indie music is all about :)

Cheers

מקליטים אלבום

אנחנו עובדים ביחד כמעט 3 שנים ואת כל התהליך הזה אנחנו מנסים לסכם עכשיו ל7 קטעים.

תמיד כשמנגנים ביחד תקופה ארוכה באופן טבעי הקטעים באים ומתחלפים , שיר שאהבנו והאמנו בו ברגע מסוים כעבור זמן מרגיש מיושן מבחינתנו, ולא רלוונטי למה שאנחנו עושים עכשיו.

אני בטוח שרוב מי שניגן בלהקה מספיק זמן מבין בדיוק על מה אני מדבר.

זאת הסיבה הכי חשובה מבחינתי להקליט בעצם "אלבום". בעידן שבו שומעים סינגלים וקליפים ביוטיוב,להקה לדעתי צריכה לדעת מתי לסמן איזה שהיא נקודת זמן, ולהגיד זה מה ומי שאנחנו עכשיו ואת הרגע הזה צריך להקליט ולשמר.

בסופ"ש הקרוב אנחנו מתחילים להקליט כלים בכל מיני אולפנים וגם הרבה בבית ואחרי זה נכנסים לסשנים ארוכים של הפקה. גם בזמן הזה מן הסתם השירים יושפעו ויזוזו. וזה מה שמדהים בעיני במוסיקה, שזה דבר כל כך חיי ואנחנו מצאנו דרך לשמר ולזכור אותה.
