Star Eaters Delight
On 'Star Eaters Delight,' Virginia singer/songwriter Lael Neale resides on the blurry fringes of indie pop, and that’s right where she likes it.
Singer/songwriter Lael Neale's 2021 album Acquainted with Night departed from the somewhat forgettable studio sound of her earlier work in favor of home recording, imperfect performances, and spare arrangements consisting mostly of voice and Omnichord, a toy-like synth instrument with a built-in rhythm box.
Romeo and Juliet died for somebody’s sins but not mine. Lael Neale’s second release for Sub Pop finds the artist stylistically pushing boundaries with her beloved Omnichord while bringing an array of new sounds into the mix as well.
