Lorena B was an Israeli electronic band, whose music is a fusion of soft Icelandic sounds and harsh electronica. Today Yoav and Roi are working with Johnny Sharoni on their new band "Garden city movement". Adi continued solo.
Lorena B combines vocals, electronic beats, and a unique sound. Since its inception, the band has created a live show with a variety of sounds, mixing rock and electronica. With the release of their self-produced debut album, Siblings, Lorena B went on their first tour in the UK. Songs from the album were played on the Jarvis Cocker's[1] Sunday Service show on BBC Radio 6 Music, London's XFM, and on many blogs around the net. The first single, "Swallow my Gum" released a music video that received media comment,[2] and has been played on MTV IL. Since the band's conception, Lorena B has cooperated with DJs, such as dubstep producer Borgore; they have also played as main support for the American rock trio Blonde Redhead[3][4] and for the Canadian electro duo, Junior Boys.
Siblings (Released 30 April 2011)[5] was self-produced by the band in a process that took over a year. The album's personal and warm sound has been described as a rich and colourful musical experience, taking the listener seamlessly through different musical landscapes from delicate to violent emotions.[6]
During the last few days of the band's UK tour for their debut album, they stumbled upon Jarvis Cocker in Central London, in a friendly encounter, they gave him a copy of their album, not knowing that he will play their track "Intro" on his radio show "Sunday Service" on BBC Radio 6 Music the following day.[7] Cocker introduced the song by amusingly mentioning that it's not the first track of the album.
The self-titled EP was released in mid January 2012, "UR"[8] and "ReFeel" from the EP have premiered online and performed live on stage in late 2011 which made it clear that the musical direction has developed into a new electronic-based, Post-dubstep sound.
Lorena B is known for its emphasis on visual and experimental components associated with their musical productions.
