Artist: Thorin Loeks Album: ‘In This Place;’ Release date: September 18, 2020; Producer: David Tallarico in New West Westminster Indie folk musician Thorin Loeks is truly connecting with the world around him, particularly through exploring humans’ relationships with the planet and each other, and understanding the depths of true love and loss. The North Vancouver-based singer-songwriter-composer-instrumentalist forgoes lingering in the despair that society has been contending with during the COVID-19 pandemic to instead share the joys of bonding with both nature and other people on his latest album, ‘In This Place.’ On the 10-track indie pop-rock record, the artist’s passionate, melodic vocals, which are set against his soulful guitar riffs, prove that he gained a greater understanding of himself while he reflected on his life during the recent medical and cultural issues that society has endured. ‘In This Place’ also embraces Loeks’ inner consciousness, and highlights his continuous evolution as not only a musician, but an overall human being.
