Due on January 12th, Lily Seabird’s new record, Alas, displays her complete mastery of song-craft, seamlessly traveling between moments of whispered indie-folk and gritty alt-country, with hints of shoegaze acting as a vignette around the edges. Reflecting on the cycle of grief, the record seems to never stop growing, building on top of itself which each track, proving its idiosyncrasy with each turn it takes.
“The album is about loss, coming of age, and sadness but there are also all these moments where happiness takes over,” says Seabird. “It can be two things at once: life isn’t just pain and sadness, there’s also joy. They can all exist at the same time. Alas, is an expression of grief but it’s also for letting go.”
Seabird and Benny Yurco produced Alas, which was recorded at Burlington’s Little Jamaica Studios with Greg Freeman and drummer Zack James (Dari Bay).
