Chanel Beads 

At once a hazy relic and a digital snapshot of the human experience, 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. After his 2022 singles “Ef” and “True Altruism” marked his breakout on corners of the internet, Your Day Will Come sees Lavers evolving his uncanny and dreamlike sound which he achieves through layering synthetic and real instruments. His 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. Your Day Will Come sees Lavers capturing the many contradictions of modern existence and the strange infiniteness of the digital world, as he searches for truth and faith amid competing realities. Though he incorporates the scrappy sonics of post-punk, the gripping sentimentality of pop tunes, and the spectral artifice of electronic music, he blurs lines through unconventional song structures that build into transcendental climaxes. As he intentionally prints his songs down to embed fried artifacts and ghostly remains, the resulting songs have a time-collapsing quality, both transitory and timeless.

“Chanel Beads is an esoteric musical project that exists at the intersections of ambient electronic, sophisti-pop, field recordings, and top 40, executed with impressionistic ease.“ — TeenVogue

“[Chanel Beads has] won over fans with its peculiar, genre-bending singles. Shane Lavers’ songs playfully push the boundaries of instrumentation.” — SPIN, Artists to Watch in 2024

"[Your Day Will Come] is primed to be a showcase of Lavers’s originality and boundless imagination." — Paste

“Noisy and serene at once, it was a fruitful contrast that yielded something oddly like pop.” — Rolling Stone, Best of SXS

urika's bedroom

The LA-rooted artist has a remarkably atmospheric sound, blending left-field production with a particularly raw style of songwriting.

Out on November 1st, debut album ‘Big Smile, Black Mire’ is years in the making. Working fastidiously, the often solitary process has allowed urika’s bedroom to craft something true to his own emotions.

New single ‘Circle Games’ is an excellent opener; there’s a UK tinge to the production, with hints of trip hop – early Massive Attack or Tricky’s ‘Maxinquaye’ – in those dark electronic corners.
