SHANNON LAY
Geist feels like a window - or a mirror - into possibilities of the self and beyond. Shannon Lays new album is tender intensity, placeless and ethereal. It exists in the chasms of the present -- a world populated by shadow selves, spiritual awakenings, déjà vu, and past lives.
Something sleeps inside us, Lay insists on the opening track, and thats the guiding philosophy throughout. A winding, golden, delicate thread of intuition that explores the unknown, the possibility. Its title, Geist, the German word for spirit, is rife with an otherworldly presence, the suggestion of another. The promise that you are never alone.
Lay tracked vocals and guitar at Jarvis Tavinere of Woods studio, then sent the songs out to multi-instrumentalists Ben Boye (Bonnie Prince Billy, Ty Segall) in Los Angeles and Devin Hoff (Sharon Van Etten, Cibo Matto) in New York; trusting their musical instincts and intuition. She then sent those recordings to Sofia Arreguin (Wand) and Aaron Otheim (Heatwarmer, Mega Bog) for additional keys, while Ty Segall contributed a guitar solo on Shores.
As a whole, Geist is both esoteric and accessible. Theres the concise, pared-back cover of Syd Barretts tilt-a-whirl-esque Late Night, while "Rare to Wake, inspired by Dune, is existential and meditative, a circular guitar riff looping at the core of it. Awaken and Allow, is ancient-feeling and mainly a cappella, its melody channels her deep Irish roots, a moment of reflection, before a drop happens -- its intensity mirroring the anticipation and anxiety that come with taking the first step to accepting change for yourself.
Times Arrow, with its refrain of heading downhill, was inspired by something a close friend said. Lay notes: I wanted Times Arrow to be this gentle reminder that we're on our way, and we're moving forward. There is medicine in every moment so dont rush.
Thread to Find, which Lay wrote after walking into an old hotel in Switzerland and being struck by the feeling like shed been there before, is a testament to the energy we leave behind and stumble across.
And the title track Geist, a song about the power living in all of us, is a love song to the possibility of healing, an ode to falling into the arms of what youre becoming. Its a glimpse into the parts of yourself you have yet to meet. But you can, if you want to.
LITTLE MAZARN
The music of Little Mazarn is a cool float a few feet from the ground through a dimly lit, almost familiar forest. It is quieter than silence, big as everything, still but always moving. If youve ever had flying dreams, or an amazing night time bike ride on LSD, this might be a world for you. Chords are made up of notes; Little Mazarn gives them all their own moment. There are NO superfluous notes played here.
