Lightspheres On Their Way - Gold [Colored Vinyl] (Gol) - Lily Seabird

"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. Though born from a period of reckoning and renewal, Seabird orients Lightspheres on Their Way around a holistic realism that buoys the spirit, with loose, earthy arrangements that meet intensity and depth with both twangy spaciousness and searing drive.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. "A lightsphere can be so many things" says Seabird, " an actual light like a star, the sun, a UFO; headlights, a flashlight in the night; but also life, living things, people, relationships.
