On the heels of last year’s critically-acclaimed album Star Eaters Delight, Virginia native singer-songwriter Lael Neale is back with a brand new video for “Electricity,” a new song available from Sub Pop.
“Electricity” was written and composed by Neale and produced and arranged by longtime creative collaborator Guy Blakeslee, while the video was directed by Neale herself.
Watch the video below:
Of the song, Neale says, “I wrote the song during an ice storm a couple of winters ago that caused a 5-day power outage while I was living on my family’s farm in Virginia. I experienced intense withdrawal from all these things we’ve come to depend on so heavily in our modern life – like lighting, heat, refrigeration, and entertainment. I felt a range of sensations from utter emptiness to complete liberation. I realized we’re essentially electrified beings now, but through unplugging entirely we have a chance to gain a new perspective and reset ourselves.”
Lael Neale will hit the road in support of her recent releases – see the dates below. In addition to music, Neale, a painter, will have a solo art show titled “Altogether Stranger,” held at AndPens Gallery in Eagle Rock, CA, on Friday, August 2nd.
