LEYA—New York’s singular avant-pop duo of harpist Marilu Donovan and vocalist/violinist Adam Markiewicz—have emerged from a whirlwind few years of international touring and high-profile collaborations with a new chapter: I Forget Everything. Blending medieval tones with modern textures, their sound remains otherworldly and intense, but this latest project introduces a fresh edge, incorporating electronic elements for the first time. The raw and reflective EP finds the pair navigating solitude, loss, and reinvention—yet always tethered to their signature interplay of harp, strings, and voice.
Chanel Beads Reimagines LEYA‘s “Corners”
One of the EP’s standout tracks, “Corners,” gets a striking rework from rising underground pop talent Chanel Beads. Shane Lavers breathes new life into the song with his signature collage-like production—spacious, emotional, and grounded in a rhythmic rap-pop sensibility. “Reworking this song I tried to make something that felt like the moments before and after their sets. Like anticipating something and then wondering where it went,” Lavers shared. The remix, featuring Maya McGrory on vocals and Zachary Paul on violin, arrives alongside a hazy, self-shot visual starring model Mariah Morvant.
