Description
Recorded by Athens-based green thumb Lea between 2014 and 2015, sometimes in her room, sometimes outside, while she was working on set. This EP is the best kind of secret bedroom pop. Folk-centric guitar picking, thick layered vocal looping, lullaby-style melodies dripping from the tree tops. Like sleepwalking through a waterfall at night and into a cave-maze, frolicking and wandering until you reach an exit at the top of a mountain, then taking a leap into the dark sky; becoming a new constellation.
For fans of Joanna Newsom’s “The Sprout and the Bean” vocal and lyrical sensibility with Grooper’s “I’d rather be sleeping” low-fi reverb-soaked shoegazing-haze, mixed with Animal Collective’s early acoustic rhythms (think “Leaf House”) and Bjork’s Medulla-era all vox sampling palette. This collection was nearly-not due to an unfortunate loss, and only these tracks remain. We’re delighted and honored to re-issue SHEYET, previously only available digitally, in a proper albeit limited edition run of cassette tapes. We know you’ll get lost in it just like we did.
“many special moments of gratitude and inspiration gleamed from/and/or sacred secret recording spaces: meansville mountaintop sunsets, the walking dead, somebodyparts, the bamboo forest, sabajon, the mammal gallery, & potato creek.” – Lea Lea
