L’Rain is back with a new album. Fata Morgana arrives August 14, via Mexican Summer , preceded by the salvo of “Soulless Cycle,” which you can hear below. The hell-raising track comes with an elliptical video directed by Mackai Sharp.

L’Rain’s Taja Cheek bills Fata Morgana as the culmination of a quadrilogy that began with her 2017 self-titled debut, followed by Fatigue and I Killed Your Dog . She made the new LP with longtime collaborators Ben Chapoteau-Katz and Andrew Lappin, reflecting, in part, on her role as a citizen of the present-day United States. “I’m thinking about the ways in which this societal malaise manifests within myself,” she says in a press release. “As we’ve slipped further into fascism and trad culture, I’m thinking about all the beliefs society has manufactured about itself and about me.”
