Chanel Beads is the musical project of Shane Lavers, an experimental pop artist known for his raw, immersive sound. His debut album Your Day Will Come, released in 2024, introduced listeners to a deeply personal style of songwriting, where fragile vocals weave through textured, unpredictable arrangements. The record quickly turned heads thanks to its emotional honesty and sonic depth, earning Lavers a growing audience and even landing him on tour with major acts.
Now, Lavers is back with his sophomore album, surprisingly, also titled Your Day Will Come. It arrives June 26 via Jagjaguwar. Reusing the same title isn’t about revisiting the past, but about extending an idea that still resonates with him, a push and pull between confidence and uncertainty. The new record sees the return of close collaborators, including violinist Zachary Paul and singer Maya McGrory, both of whom appeared on the first album. At the same time, the circle widens with contributions from More Eaze, Anastasia Coope, Tchad Cousins of Urika’s Bedroom, Bella Litsa, and Isaac Eiger. It also includes “The Coward Forgets His Nightmare,” a track that already hinted at the direction of this new chapter.
Leading the announcement is the new single “Song For The Messenger,” paired with a stark, grayscale video, directed and edited by Robbie Barnett. The track leans into Lavers’s signature style, blending pitched-up vocals with loose, emotionally charged instrumentation of live drums, drifting strings, and warped guitar tones. There’s a tension running through it, but also a quiet sense of resolve. “This song is laughing at me,” Lavers shared. “It’s like looking over your shoulder and walking off a cliff. The video is about having no fear.” Watch and support below.
