'Geist' feels like a window - or a mirror - into possibilities of the self and beyond. Shannon Lay's 2021 album is tender intensity, placeless and ethereal.
It exists in the chasms of the present - a world populated by shadow selves, spiritual awakenings, d�j� vu, and past lives. 'Something sleeps inside us', Lay insists on the opening track, and that's the guiding philosophy throughout. A winding, golden, delicate thread of intuition that explores the unknown, the possibility. Its title, 'Geist', the German word for spirit, is rife with an otherworldly presence, the suggestion of another. The promise that you are never alone.
