Your Day Will Come: Pink Vinyl LP

First things first: yes, Chanel Beads second album,Your Day Will Come, has the same title as the experimental projects 2024 breakthrough debut. But this is a completely new body of work, not a part two, a rehash or a re-do. Raised in the suburbs of Minnesota, Lavers began making music under the name Chanel Beads while living in Seattle back in 2016. When he wasnt working at a library for the blind, he was collaging synthetic sounds and real instruments into beguiling songs fundamentally averse to genre. He 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.

The second iteration ofYour Day Will Comecatalogues a sonic shift and evolution in Chanel Beads sound. This time around, its layered with more original parts and players. Violinist Zachary Paul has a greater presence, though Lavers continues to toy with the semiotic baggage of plug-ins. The gossamer voice of Maya McGrory can once again be heard across the album, and she co-wrote the majestic Silver Cup. These 14 songs are increasingly fleshed out and structured, a result of a more collaborative approach that embraced spontaneity and imperfections.
