About Me

Lo Ra is the desire to find back the instinctive wisdom of childhood, the primary intelligence that the human kind tends to lose with maturity. The music of Lo Ra is a soft blend of chaos, sensuality, self-destruction syndrome, melancholy and delicacy.

Despite British-tinged dark melodies, Lo Ra reveals hope and optimism. The poetry of the lyrics is carried by a music inspired by grunge and trip-hop, all of it covered in a slightly gothic veil.

The band, initially took shape when Elaine Martin met Jean-Philippe Villemure. The initial plan was to record a cover of the mythic band Joy Divison, but quite fast it led them to create original material. The project was then enriched by the presence of three full-time members : bass player Martin Richard, drummer Isabelle Fortin and multi-instrumentist Martin Mantha. What was to be a simple trip between two passionate hermits has now taken a concrete form on a human scale.

November 2007 brought LoRa’s first LP, « The Right Path ». Montreal’s critics described the band as being « Montreal scene’s greatest hidden secret » and their music as « highly inspired, with a neat production ». LoRa is planning a canadian tour for 2008 and is currently working on their up coming EP.
