Lorr No – Alergia

Released on August 31 2020 via Favela Discos, Alergia marks the return of Nuno Loureiro under the moniker Lorr No.

The album opens a new chapter in which synthetic sounds take centre stage, moving away from his previous work emphasising samples as primary material. In Alergia, we are submerged in a different space‑time, infected with nostalgic riffs that carry both comfort and unease, and by melodic phrases in bright scales that turn melancholic when the moment calls. The voice continues to guide the listener, but it is the sonic environment — synthetic, vigilant, ever‑shifting — that defines the record. This album presents a focused, intimate and elusive approach, where contemplative electronics coexist with the tension of unexpected turns. Alergia stands as a distinctive work in the Portuguese alternative music landscape, showcasing Lorr No’s evolution and his commitment to reinvention.
