“Volta lifts you up. It transcends time … You cannot leave the musical space of Yorke’s album without at least 70% more hope or joy than you started with”
The Quietus ‘Album of the Week’

“Utterly absorbing … a landmark moment in Yorke’s career” 
Electronic Sound ‘Lead Review’

“The best thing in modular synths right now”
DJ Mag print review

“Volta is absolutely gorgeous” Tom Ravenscroft, BBC 6Music

Across Volta’s 41 minutes we are spun across a galaxy: revolving and rotating, swelling and contracting, waxing and waning. The loop is the symbol of infinity, a connection between human pattern-making and cosmic cycles unknown; just as a tilt in Earth’s axis gives us the seasons, the smallest shift in Yorke’s sequences expands a single sound into a musical universe.

Volta was released on January 23rd to critical acclaim in the UK

 ‘Volta’ was chosen as ‘Album of the Week’ by The Quietus magazine, lead review for the January print edition of Electronic Sound, as well as being reviewed in print in DJ Mag and Moonbuilding, and digital editions of First Floor, Foxy Digitalis, A Closer Listen and more. 

Yorke launched the album live on BBC Music Introducing UK on 25th January followed by a live date at East London’s cult music venue Cafe Oto and the release of a video for the third single from the album ‘Staying with the Trouble’ 

Pieces from Volta have had BBC R3 and BBC 6Music radio play, including: Mary Ann Hobbes inviting Loula to speak about the record for her Hit Reset feature; Hannah Peel’s Night Tracks; Tom Ravenscroft and Deb Grant’s New Music Fix; Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone; Elizabeth Alker’s Unclassified, and Jennifer Lucy Allan’s Late Junction show.

Biography

Yorke’s musical universe has been expansive over the past decade. She spent six years in live rave duo TR-33N, which took her from playing underground warehouse parties to the all-night area of Glastonbury, before her debut solo release on techno veteran Marshall Applewhite’s Detroit label Junted in 2019.

In 2020 her work was recognised with a Special Commendation from the Oram Awards. Yorke has played live in support of the likes of Talvin Singh, The Orb, Rival Consoles, Imaginary Softwoods, Hiro Kone, Container and Mary Ocher, as well as putting out a string of well-received releases including LDOLS and Florescence. Volta is her fifth album.
