Star Eaters Delight

Self-recorded album by LA/Virginia artist Lael Neale, exploring themes of transcendentalism, the polarities of nature and civilization, and healing via minimalist pop ala the Velvet Underground. Lael Neale still has a flip phone and there were no screens involved in the creation of 'Star Eaters Delight'. The album is her second for Sub Pop and reveals an expansion of her sonic collaboration with producer and accompanist Guy Blakeslee. In April of 2020, in the wake of transformations both personal and global, Lael moved from Los Angeles back to her family's farm in rural Virginia. Looking at the world from a distance and getting in tune with her own rhythms, she wrote and recorded steadily for two dreamlike years, driven by a need to make order out of chaos. Forged in isolation, 'Star Eaters Delight' is a vehicle for returning, not just to civilization, but to celebration. She says, ''Acquainted with Night' (recorded in 2019, and released in 2021), was focused inward, amidst the loud and bright Los Angeles surrounding me. It was an attempt to create spaciousness and quiet reverie within. When I moved back to the farm, I found that the unbroken silences compelled me to break them with sound. This album is more external. It is me reaching back out to the world, wanting to feel connected, to wake up, to come together again.'
