Your Day Will Come is the debut album from
Chanel Beads, arriving April 19 via Jagjaguwar. The remarkable
project announces the arrival of New York-based musician
Shane Lavers as a new force in experimental music, capturing
the many contradictions of modern existence and the strange
infiniteness of the digital world. The songs feel like a memory in
which you can't distinguish between what actually happened or
what was a false reproduction in your mind
-
although the
burning emotion remains intact.
Lavers pushed himself to strip his own sense of ego from
Your Day Will Come. Throughout, Lavers weaves in
contributions from his live bandmates, singer-songwriter Maya
McGrory (Colle) and experimental instrumentalist Zachary
Paul, who offer their own layers of feeling. As McGrory offers a
more full-bodied tone and Lavers often sings with his higher-
pitched head voice, the two collaborators meet in the middle;
it's an intermingling of identities or a subconscious pining for
androgyny. In this slippery space, different perspectives merge
together, and there's a sense of empathy and humility that
arises from the blending of these voices. These days, Chanel
Beads live shows see all three performers weaving together in
absolute catharsis.
