L'Orange The World Is Still Chaos, But I Feel Better LP

Simultaneously a tribute to depression & wellness, L'Orange's The World Is Still Chaos, But I Feel Better shows a musical & emotional growth from the North Carolina producer. Tension is built & released throughout the 22 track album. The album features guest narration from comedian Nish Kumar & Jeremy Scott (CinemaSins) as well as musicians Marc Rebillet, Solemn Brigham (Marlowe) & Jeremiah Jae. As the narrator closes the album, "The world is the same as always is. The only difference is that I feel better."

L'Orange's 2021 full-length The World Is Still Chaos, But I Feel Better is about dealing with the traumatic state of the planet and coping with the pressures of everyday life. It emphasizes the importance of taking everything one day at a time and celebrating the small victories and the things that go right, reminding the listener that 'feeling OK, not perfect' is a good way to be. The elusive beatmaker's production style is typically a bit disjointed and hazy, pulling thick, thumping loops from vintage jazz and soul records that have been gathering dust for ages, so it befits an album that acknowledges the roughness and imperfection of daily life....The album doesn't attempt to ignore the world's problems or pretend that depression and mental illness aren't real; rather, it affirms that everyday struggles are manageable, and there are joyful ways to maintain balance.
