Shannon Lay releases 'Past the Veil', her first new album in five years and the debut release on her own All the Best label. The record expands her earlier folk minimalism with jazz accompaniment, trip-hop rhythm and spacious arrangements.
Lay’s guitar and voice remain at the centre, but wider production allows her songwriting to drift through late-summer shadows and reverberating beats. On 'I Need More Water', she contemplates rest and labour. 'Past the Veil' treats work and uncertainty as intertwined states, creating an album that sounds calm while thinking hard.
