La Luz's Shana Cleveland releases new album opener "A Ghost"
Shana Cleveland of La Luz has shared her new single "A Ghost", the opening song from her upcoming third solo album Manzanita.
After announcing Manzanita with the lead outing "Faces in the Firelight" last month, Cleveland has delivered a second preview of the record titled "A Ghost", which lands with a Vice Cooler-directed video.
Cleveland says, "I never really gave pregnancy and childbirth very much thought, and when I did become pregnant I was surprised by how much of a psychedelic experience it was. A subtitle for this album could be: What to Expect When You Are Open to the Mysteries of the Universe. When I sat outside the house looking out across the field, the chemistry and shape of my body constantly changing, I understood that I was no different than the plants and animals around me."
Manzanita will follow Cleveland's 2019 solo album Night of the Worm Moon, and La Luz's 2021 self-titled album, and features Abbey Blackwell (Alvvays, La Luz) on bass, Olie Eshleman on pedal steel, and Will Sprott on keyboards, dulcimer, glockenspiel, harpsichord and synthesizer.
"A Ghost" is out now. Shana Cleveland's Manzanita album will be released through Hardly Art Records on 10 March, and is available to pre-order now.
