Lael Neale Brings Intimate Sound

Lael Neale hails from rural Virginia, where she grew up on a farm before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. It was there that she discovered the Omnichord, an instrument that would become a key part of her sound, and began collaborating with producer Guy Blakeslee. This partnership has yielded a string of critically acclaimed albums, including Acquainted With Night and Altogether Stranger, which showcase Neale's ability to craft minimalist, lo-fi arrangements that are both haunting and beautiful.

Neale's music is characterized by its use of simple, yet effective instrumentation, often featuring the Omnichord and Blakeslee's psychedelic guitar work. Her songs often have a timeless quality, drawing on influences from 1960s girl groups and proto-punk to create a unique sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. With her latest release, As Killers Do, Neale continues to push the boundaries of her sound, experimenting with new textures and moods to create a record that is both intimate and expansive.
