Multi-instrumentalist Taja Cheek, who records under the moniker L'Rain, creates a unique experience in
Fatigue. The album is kaleidoscopic and unpredictable. Cheek envelopes the listener in her world with a combination of impressive musicianship, production, and field recordings. The album is full of beautiful moments, an early one being how Cheek embellishes a live gospel recording in the second half of "Find It". "Suck Teeth", a smooth number that is as close to straight-ahead as
Fatigue gets, has Cheek in a mesmerizing back and forth with ethereal vocals.
