Chanel Beads announces debut album, Your Day Will Come

Lavers first started writing Your Day Will Come during a period of reflection in November 2022. Stuck quarantining in his Brooklyn apartment, he found himself wanting to dig down into the core of who he truly was, apart from fleeting trends or rebounding cultural moments.

Accustomed to performing in various bands when he lived in Seattle, Shane began to strip everything back when he started playing shows around New York, working to locate what felt worthy for him to perform. That mindset informed the writing of the record, in which Lavers forced himself to only keep what felt the most necessary to say. “There was a filter to this record,” Lavers says. “If it didn’t move me while performing, then I couldn’t make it into a song. As much as I wanted to make something that was cool to the touch, I had to make something that made me feel something.”

"Idea June" features live bandmate Maya McGrory taking lead vocals to project Lavers’ lyrics. Throughout the album, Lavers weaves in contributions from McGrory and experimental violinist Zachary Paul.

The album's announcement follows a recent debut visit to Europe for Chanel Beads, which included two sold-out London shows at George Tavern and Spanners and an appearance by Lavers on NTS’ Breakfast Show, around the release of previous single, "Police Scanner".
