CHANEL BEADS

CHANEL BEADS, the experimental project of Shane Lavers, brings his sophomore album *Your Day Will Come* to Black Cat for a live performance. The album shares its title with his breakthrough 2024 debut but is an entirely new body of work—neither a sequel nor a rehash. Lavers, who began the project in Seattle while working at a library for the blind and later moved to New York, has evolved from house shows and illegal tunnel gigs to opening for Lorde on her North American arena tour. His music blends synthetic sounds and real instruments into genre-resistant songs marked by androgynous vocals, uncanny artifice, and intimate vulnerability. *Your Day Will Come* was recorded in his small Brooklyn studio with microphones close to the drums and a “if it works, leave it be” ethos, eschewing demo recordings. Lyrically, the album dwells on dualities—nihilism and love, certainty and doubt—using dream logic to explore liminality and memory.
