Lightspheres on Their Way [CD]

Lily Seabird - Lightspheres on Their Way [CD]

"Sometimes life gets so dark, it starts to feel like a bad trip," Lily Seabird reflects on the seasons that led to the making of her new record, Lightspheres on Their Way. Seabird's third record in as many years for Lame-O Records deals in mortality and reverence for the innately human, piecing her troubadour-ish folk to a grungy rock sentimentality.

Across the record's nine tracks, the Vermont-based singer and songwriter orbits around the concept of "lightspheres," a catalysing presence or force that visits time and time again and shifts stories, feelings and trajectories. Though Lightspheres marks a moment of ascension for Seabird's songwriting, she asserts that "the most emotional parts of the record are instrumental." Lightspheres is a testament to the depths one can reach in their art when you stop trying to tell the story of what happened to you, and instead start talking about who you are.
