Chanel Beads

Using a combination of real, synthetic, and manipulated instruments, Chanel Beads is the project of New York-based musician Shane Lavers, whose dreamy indie electronic songs are influenced by '80s acts like the Blue Nile and Prefab Sprout and sound collage as well as the notion of "fake jazz," a term coined by Donald Fagen. The multi-instrumentalist recorded Chanel Beads' debut album, 2024's ambiguously titled Your Day Will Come, with contributions from his live band.
