LIMITED EDITION PINK OPAQUE VINYL W/ EXCLUSIVE ART PRINT
Release Date: 26th June 2026
Chanel Beads' 2nd album being titled the exact same as their incredible debut is as good an analogy for both their approach and their sound as you'll get. The project led by Shane Lavers is in so many ways a fever dream with repetition at the heart of it. 'Your Day Will Come' (II) builds on the sonic world created in act 1 but takes it to a new level. Lavers' psychy avante-pop meets art-rock is elevated by the dual vocal work with Maya McGrory - both pitched into an androgynous symbiotism - and the violin work of Zachary Paul. Today's the day!

"First things first: yes, Chanel Beads’ second album, Your Day Will Come, has the same title as the experimental project’s 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 wasn’t 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 of Your Day Will Come catalogues a sonic shift and evolution in Chanel Beads’ sound. This time around, it’s 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."
