The album ‘Glovemaker’ is about the skins we craft to be seen by the world, and Loren reminds us that we are all in drag. All exposed. No matter what gloves we slip on. “I’m a slut for all my dreams,” Loren Kramar sings with Patti Smith brashness, “I’m a whore for them, I’ve got more of them.” Loren’s lyrics move like tinsel, shimmering bravely, then just as quickly, curling, fragile under the spotlight. Loren has always been obsessed with fame. Not with famous people, but with the electricity that perverts attention – the crushing desire to be truly seen. And all of Loren, and this obsession, is in this album. He grew up in the Valley, forced to hide his Barbies from his father, so the closet was a gorgeous Spanish ranch house on a gilded cul-de-sac crawling with celebrities. Naturally, this boy wanted to be a child star so his mother secretly shuttled him to tap and jazz and figure skating lessons. “I’ve got hands and feet to put in the concrete,” Loren croons, in ‘Hollywood Blvd’, a song which clangs with brawny bravado. But ‘Gay Angels’ reminds us that Loren’s infatuation with stardom is inextricably linked with his queerness and his own desire to live outside of fear. To be famous is to be out. “‘Glovemaker’ has become a kind of code for art making itself. A glove as a covering or mask that follows the contours of the life beneath it. As a song and a symbol, this is an album about studying and tracing a life – and then sharing what’s there,” Loren says. And his desire to share truth feels urgent. To listen to Loren is to understand there is no choice; the songs must tear through the air right now. This very second. “I see myself tearing and splitting and becoming a trampoline,” he belts in ‘No Man’, breaking our hearts right alongside his. Part poet, part theatrical diva, Loren loops together the tragedy of breathing on this planet, because like Eartha Kitt or Cat Stevens, Loren is at his core an incredible storyteller. This whole album is a shrine, a mantle atop a blazing fire of life, spread with the memorabilia of Loren; all of the pain and lust, dazzling on unabashed view. This is a songwriter’s album. Loren’s lyrics are all his, and you feel it with every bright, Maraschino-cherry-like word that falls from his lips. “Like a lover, You scream and I shatter, I hit like a hammer,” Loren sings. And we get to feel what Loren feels. We live in his brain, riding his genre bending emotions, on a wave of modern pop. And the songs lift, they are anthems of belief, ‘Hollywood Blvd’, ‘I’m a Slut’, ‘Euphemism’ and ‘Gay Angels’ are all odes to triumphing over the corroding powers of fear and doubt. And on this ride, Loren’s voice is the guard rail, ever eager to stretch and transform, belting, talk-singing, multiplying, keeping us safe. Available on red coloured vinyl and black vinyl.
