Shannon Lay has released new cut "A Thread to Find" as the latest preview of her forthcoming album Geist.

Following last month's "Awaken and Allow" and "Geist" singles, Shannon Lay has unveiled "A Thread to Find" as the latest outing from Geist.

""A Thread to Find" is about finding pieces of yourself in unfamiliar places," Lay says of the track. "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, which will also include May's "Rare to Wake", will follow Lay's 2019 album August, and features contributions from Ty Segall, Sofia Arreguin (Wand) and Aaron Otheim (Heatwarmer, Mega Bog).

"A Thread to Find" is out now. Shannon Lay's Geist album will land via Sub Pop on 8 October, and is available to pre-order now. She'll play London's St. Pancras Old Church on 15 November.
