Chanel Beads releases new album Your Day Will Come: new video ‘Tyler Richards’ out now
PRAISE FOR Chanel Beads
“Atmospheric and abstract, melodic and hazy”
“Full of clashing instrumentation and subdued lyrics delicately packed with emotional conflict; melodic chaos that feels poised to spill over into your real life at any moment”
“Hypnagogic, post-modern punk, stream-of-consciousness poems that feel like a Yerba mate and faulty spliff on a sun-soaked day”
“A deepening of Chanel Beads' strangely hypnotic, otherworldly sound”
Your Day Will Come LP is out now, buy/stream it here.
Today, Chanel Beads, the project of Shane Lavers, releases his highly anticipated second album Your Day Will Come via Jagjaguwar. LISTEN HERE.
Your Day Will Come signals a shift in Chanel Beads’ sound, with more original parts and players. He embraces the attitude of “if it works, leave it be,” recording into whatever microphone is around and building the song from that take. Violinist Zachary Paul has a greater presence, the gossamer voice of Maya McGrory can once again be heard across the album, and casual hangs led to contributions from friends like Tchad Cousins (Urika’s Bedroom), Mari Maurice (More Eaze), Anastasia Coope, Bella Litsa and Isaac Eiger (Threshold).
Shane Lavers was living in New York by 2022, as tracks like ‘Ef‘ and ‘True Altruism‘ captivated certain online circles with their androgynous vocals, uncanny artifice, and stirring intimacy. In the years since Chanel Beads’ entrancing introduction, the project has gone from playing house shows and illegal abandoned train tunnel shows, all the way up to supporting Lorde on her recent North American arena tour.
