Lael Neale has released a new single called ‘Electricity’. The track was produced and arranged by longtime collaborator Guy Blakeslee. Check out its self-directed video below.
“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,” Neale explained in a statement. “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.”
Neale released her most recent LP, Star Eaters Delight, last year. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Lael Neale.
