Lael Neale shares a new official video for “Faster Than The Medicine” from her forthcoming album Star Eaters Delight, available on CD/LP/CS/DSPs on April 21st, 2023 worldwide from Sub Pop.
“Faster Than The Medicine” gallops across a misty imagined English countryside, frenetically propelled by the drum machine built into Neale’s signature Omnichord. The video stars and is directed by Neale, who says,“It’s inspired by filmmaker Jonas Mekas; a collage of moments from my search for the mystical in the mundane.”
Star Eaters Delight was written by Neale, with arrangements and production by Guy Blakeslee. The recordings were made on cassette in Virginia and mastered by Chris Coady in Los Angeles.
In April of 2020, 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 explains: "The unbroken silences on the farm compelled me to break them with sound. This album is louder and more external, calling out to the world."
Lael Neale has extended her international tour schedule for 2023 in support of Star Eaters Delight, and now includes an appearance at Brighton, UK’s The Great Escape Festival in May. A current list of European dates are below, and tickets for these shows are on sale now.
