Chanel Beads drift into purple light with Dust in the Wind

Chanel Beads’ music works best when it feels slightly unstable, like a pop song remembered through bad reception and beautiful lighting. Dust in the Wind, the new single from Shane Lavers’ project, continues that hazy logic. Featuring Isaac Eiger of Strange Ranger and Threshold, the track arrives alongside a purple-toned video and a North American tour announcement. There is a slippery quality to Chanel Beads that makes the project difficult to box in neatly.

It is indie, electronic, experimental and oddly intimate without becoming precious about any of those labels. With Your Day Will Come arriving through Jagjaguwar, the campaign feels like it is gathering shape while still preserving the mist around it. That is the charm. Chanel Beads does not force clarity. It lets the songs glow from behind the glass.
