Lorelle Meets The Obsolete

Lorelle Meets The Obsolete started as the duo of Lorena Quintanilla and Alberto González and has since played with a fuller live line-up. They have released records through the UK label Sonic Cathedral, which specialises in shoegaze and drone-based guitar music.

The songs tend to be built from a single repeated groove, with drum machines or tightly locked live drums, droning organ and heavily processed guitar slowly piling up. Quintanilla's vocals sit low in the mix, treated as another texture. Their later records added more synthesiser and a colder, more electronic edge without dropping the trance-like repetition.
