_Are you lonely? Does it hurt to feel?_
_Don’t you want somethin’ more real?__I’ve
been wasting, I’ve been wasting__Precious time, burning through my life._ – Inger
Lorre, “More Real”

**AUGUST 23, 2023 (New York, NY) — **“How long has it been between studio albums?
Quite a long time,” says LA-based alt-rock legend **Inger Lorre.** Reflecting on
her last release, _Transcendental Meditation,_ released in 1999, she’s ready to 
make a statement. “It was really a matter of money… and having something to say.”

**“**[**More Real**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=05ba079c07&e=615f2b8493)**,”**
her first studio output since 2014’s 7-inch single “Snowflake / Hate In My Heart”(
as Inger Lorre and the Chiefs of Infinity), is that statement. “The lyrics are very
straightforward.  ‘_I’ve been waiting far too long to sing this song_.’ Well, I 
have, haven’t I?” she asks rhetorically.

**Inger Lorre “More Real”**

A step away from her raucous rock roots fronting infamous and uncontrollable band**
Nymphs** from the ‘90s, Lorre takes a softer approach, full of viscerally raw introspection
and vulnerability. A melancholic folk song swaying ever-so-closely on the borderline
of Americana, “More Real” captures the once infernally-charged firebrand on a meditative
and contemplative path of self-realization.

Examining the horrors and deterioration of addiction, it cuts very close to the 
bone. “The song is about everything I knew in my heart unfurling right before me,”
she explains. “It’s about the wisdom earned through suffering. I looked into becoming
a monk, but I was one year too old to be accepted. I wanted to reject a lot of Western
Culture. I wanted to reject a society that is vapid and superficial. There’s an 
innate strength to being female – don’t burn through your life without embracing
every stage: maiden, mother, maga, crone.”

A mere taste for what’s in store, “More Real” was co-produced by **Paul Roessler**(
_TSOL, The Screamers, Nina Hagan_). “I have wanted to work with Paul for years just
because of all the positive hearsay,” she says admirably. “I would see him and we
would always talk about possibly doing music together. He is some sort of magical,
musical genius and I am so grateful that in this lifetime, I got to do a record 
with Paul Roessler at the helm.”
 Working with Nashville multi-instrumentalist **
Buddy Woodward**, she created gorgeous oceans of sound with esoteric string instruments
alongside **Angelique Congleton** on bass**, Eric Contreras** on drums, **Matt Lee**
on electric guitar, **Jordan Shapiro** on pedal steel guitar and **Roessler **on
keyboards. With more music on the way, Lorre is excited for what’s upcoming, especially
after finding a kindred spirit with infamous ‘80s icon **Josie Cotton** on whose
label **Kitten Robot** she is now signed. “I chose to be on the label because it’s
a great label,” she beams. “It’s owned and run by a woman, Josie, who dealt with
the same and different problems in the old-school major label music game, so I felt
that Josie understood what I had gone through. She understood the PTSD that I went
through dealing with large music conglomerates. I still have PTSD… just ask my band
members.” **“More Real” **is now available _via_ Kitten Robot Records on DSPs including
