On the heels of the previously released ‘Rare to Wake‘ and the joint video for ‘Awaken and Allow’ and ‘Geist’, Shannon Lay today shares the official new video for ‘A Thread to Find’ alongside news that she’ll be heading on a UK and EU tour that includes London‘s St. Pancras Old Church in November. Shannon wrote this song after walking into an old hotel in Switzerland and being struck by the feeling like she’d been there before, which is a testament to the energy we leave behind and stumble across.
Shannon says shares about the song:
“‘A Thread to Find’ is about finding pieces of yourself in unfamiliar places. It is about watching the people around you grow and evolve and admiring the chaos and the beauty of discovering new worlds within ourselves. It is recognizing the courage and strength in each other even in the face of great challenge. And it is a reminder for when you get lonely on your journey that we are in this together. You’re on your own but not alone.”
Geist feels like a window – or a mirror – into possibilities of the self and beyond. Lay’s new album is tender intensity, placeless and ethereal. It exists in the chasms of the present — a world populated by shadow selves, spiritual awakenings, déjà vu, and past lives.Lay tracked vocals and guitar at Jarvis Tavinere of Woods’ studio, then sent the songs out to multi-instrumentalists Ben Boye (Bonnie Prince Billy, Ty Segall) in Los Angeles and Devin Hoff (Sharon Van Etten, Cibo Matto) in New York; trusting their musical instincts and intuition. She then sent those recordings to Sofia Arreguin (Wand) and Aaron Otheim (Heatwarmer, Mega Bog) for additional keys, while Ty Segall contributed a guitar solo on ‘Shores’.
Geist is now available for preorder. LP preorders in the UK and Europe (available here), and in Europe will receive the limited Loser edition on sun yellow vinyl (while supplies last). Preorder here:
