The Wolves Of The Orangery B4. On Such A Clear Day B5. Midnight Train B6. Underwater Blood Jorja Chalmers enjoys a quiet life. The Australian born mother of two lives in Margate, the Kent coastal town that is turning into something of a cultural hub. Yet there™s another, shadow version of Jorja Chalmers, one that resides in a liminal realm; a saxophonist & composer, a brooding, vampiric, twilight soul who yearns for some sense of aesthetic transformation. New album ˜Midnight Train™ comes close to severing the two. Constructed during the long winter lockdown, Jorja would put her kids to bed before closing the door in the spare room, building lengthy, undulating passages of cinematic terror, patching together European art-pop glamour with outsider electronics. It™s composed, intense, & challenging  but it™s also utterly exhilarating. šI feel incredibly proud of this album,› she says. šIt feels like a life™s work squeezed into one space. It feels like I™m saying something."
