S9 E10: Lora Logic

We're signing off Season 9 with a pioneering legend. Here's what the incomparable Vivien Goldman wrote about Lora Logic back in the nascent days of punk: “The remarkable Lora Logic, several phases ahead as usual, proves yet again that she’s the best thing that ever played in the Roxy…The woman defines herself, un-pompously fills a cultural vacuum. If there is a modern dance, she’s our Ginger Rogers.” I was listening to Lora’s back catalogue and I started to think that those cultural vacuums that Vivien wrote about could be those that appear when one movement fades, but the next movement hasn’t yet formed and doesn’t have a genre…that exciting, experimental phase – bands like X-Ray-Spex, ESG, Bush Tetras and Lora’s own post-X-Ray-Spex band, Essential Logic, were the ones that were always pushing boundaries, doing things a bit differently, never standing still. Her latest album, Land of Kali, released towards the end of last year, is a wonderful odyssey that takes us through the mirror of our own lives into the dangerous and dystopian age of Kali Yuga, ultimately emerging with positivity and hope. There are some people who, through their art, their music or just their whole being, make you feel that, whatever happens to us, things are going to be ok. https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.com I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.
