Shannon Lay - Past The Veil Shannon Lay

Shannon Lay’s seraphic voice and fingerpicking has long been a guiding spirit—a compassionate steward of tender hearts and minds. For the last decade, her music has tendered a retreat from one’s worries and created a refuge out of delicate and minimalist arrangements. With her new studio album, Past the Veil, she proffers the same care and understanding, and a similar emotional timbre, but from an entirely different sonic vantage point. Rather than weaving a safe cocoon in which listeners may hide out, Past the Veil rips it apart, offering a bold invitation to move through our discomfort and uncertainty. It is the sound of rebirth. It is a chance to stand up, join together, and maybe even dance. - Erin Osmon.

Co-written and produced by Rob Shelton at Altamira Sound in Alhambra, CA.

Embracing jazz mysticism and trip-hop rhythms, the singer-songwriter takes some worthwhile risks on her arresting new album - Pitchfork
