“Alas is a stupendous work of art. It subtly articulates a new sonic and lyrical vocabulary for alt-country and upholds a structure among the ten songs which is rock-solid and tornado-proof, sunrise fresh and Americana as Toll House cookies. Just enjoy it, hit repeat, and meditate on your good fortune.” – East Portland Blog

LISTEN/PURCHASE & SHARE: Lily Seabird – Alas, LP
Pre-Order
Due on January 12th, Lily Seabird’s fantastic new record, Alas, displays her complete mastery of song-craft, seamlessly traveling between moments of whispered indie-folk and gritty alt-country, with hints of shoegaze acting as a vignette around the edges. Reflecting on the cycle of grief, the record seems to never stop growing, building on top of itself which each track, proving its idiosyncrasy with each turn it takes.
“The album is about loss, coming of age, and sadness but there are also all these moments where happiness takes over,” says Seabird. “It can be two things at once: life isn’t just pain and sadness, there’s also joy. They can all exist at the same time. Alas, is an expression of grief but it’s also for letting go.”
Seabird and Benny Yurco produced Alas, which was recorded at Burlington’s Little Jamaica Studios with Greg Freeman and drummer Zack James (Dari Bay).
