Lorraine Leckie & Her Demons’ new LP "Goddamn Outer Space" is a fierce, atmospheric journey that feels both mythic and deeply personal, an album that captures the wild energy of a woman shaped by Northern Ontario roots, punk-rock grit, and decades spent moving through fashion, art, and underground music culture.
From the moment the title track “Goddamn Outer Space” erupts, the album positions itself in a cinematic universe of its own. The opener feels like a fiery manifesto, with gritty guitars, a bold attitude, and Leckie’s unmistakable vocal presence steering the ship. There’s a raw, rebellious edge here that nods to her punk past, but it’s blended with a seasoned songwriter’s sense of narrative and emotional tension.
"Glorious Rain" is different because it has a more reflective, almost haunting color scheme. Where the title track is bold and explosive, this one leans into moodier textures, letting Leckie’s voice open up in a way that captures longing, memory, and a sense of beautiful wreckage. It’s proof of her dynamic range as both a vocalist and a storyteller, offering a softer but equally gripping dimension to the album.
"Goddamn Outer Space" is compelling in how it balances grit with poetry and swagger with vulnerability. Lorraine Leckie has lived enough lives for ten artists, and this album feels like a culmination, sharp, fearless, unfiltered, and musically immersive. This LP offers a vivid, imaginative world that captivates every listen, regardless of your preference for fiery rock textures or atmospheric introspection.
