Chanel Beads to Release New Album with Title Matching Previous Release
Last autumn, Shane Lavers introduced the tune “The Coward Forgets His Nightmare” by Chanel Beads as one of Stereogum’s top 5 songs for the week. Surprisingly, this track is a sneak peek into the upcoming release by the experimental pop artist, which shares the same title as their 2024 debut album, “Your Day Will Come.” The latest single from this album, titled “Song For The Messenger,” is now available for listeners to enjoy.
When asked about the song, Lavers described it as a piece that mocks him, likening it to the feeling of peering over one’s shoulder and blindly stepping off a precipice. The accompanying music video conveys a message of fearlessness and courage in the face of challenges.
Similar to the 2024 album “Your Day Will Come,” the new LP includes the talents of Lavers’ live band members, such as violinist Zachary Paul and vocalist Maya McGrory. Additionally, the album features contributions from artists like Tchad Cousins from Urika’s Bedroom, Anastasia Coope, Bella Litsa, Isaac Eiger from Threshold, and former Chanel Beads tour companion Mari Maurice from More Eaze. The music video for “Song For The Messenger” can be viewed below.
The tracklist for the upcoming album includes a diverse range of titles, such as “Drums Only,” “Profane Break,” “Outside Your Life,” and “Spirit Showing,” among others. Fans can look forward to the release of “Your Day Will Come” on 6/26 through Jagjaguwar, following a concert tour in Australia and New Zealand. Enthusiasts can reserve their copies of the album in advance.
In conclusion, the new album by Chanel Beads promises to captivate audiences with its unique blend of experimental pop sounds and thought-provoking lyrics. With contributions from a talented array of musicians and a captivating music video to accompany the latest single, “Song For The Messenger,” this release is anticipated to be a remarkable addition to the artist’s discography. Fans of Chanel Beads and experimental pop music alike are eagerly awaiting the arrival of “Your Day Will Come” on 6/26.
