Chanel Beads make Your Day Will Come sound like a mantra losing its balance

Chanel Beads’ Your Day Will Come arrives on 26 June via Jagjaguwar, and the title already plays like both comfort and curse. Shane Lavers has somehow given the second Chanel Beads album the same title as the 2024 debut, which would be confusing if the music did not sound so committed to contradiction in the first place. The record features returning collaborators including Maya McGrory and violinist Zachary Paul, plus contributions from Tchad Cousins, Mari Maurice, Anastasia Coope, Bella Litsa and Isaac Eiger. Pitchfork frames it as an unclassifiable mood piece full of desperate characters and hooks that feel like enervated simulacra of familiar songs. That is a wonderfully strange lane: part folk, part ambient pop, part cloud-rock, part digital damage. Your Day Will Come sounds like a record trying to believe in hope while its own circuitry keeps flickering.
