Chanel Beads is the experimental project of songwriter and producer Shane Lavers, whose distinctive blend of electronic textures, organic instrumentation and intimate songwriting has made him one of the most exciting emerging voices in alternative music. Originally from Minnesota and now based in New York, Lavers launched Chanel Beads in 2016, crafting songs that blur the boundaries between indie rock, ambient music, folk and experimental pop. His breakthrough debut album, Your Day Will Come (2024), captivated listeners with its dreamlike atmosphere, fragmented beauty and emotionally charged performances, quickly establishing Chanel Beads as a cult favourite within the underground music scene.
Since then, Chanel Beads has continued to evolve while remaining fiercely independent in spirit. Created from a small Brooklyn studio using an instinctive and unconventional recording process, the project's music embraces imperfection, spontaneity and emotional honesty. The latest album, also titled Your Day Will Come, explores themes of memory, loss, love and uncertainty through richly layered soundscapes and impressionistic lyricism. Balancing experimental ambition with striking vulnerability, Chanel Beads creates immersive music that feels both deeply personal and endlessly open to interpretation, cementing Shane Lavers' reputation as one of contemporary music's most inventive young artists.
