On March 3rd, CoSigned singer-songwriter Aly Spaltro, aka Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, will follow up her excellent debut album, Ripley Pine, with After. Due out through Mom + Pop, the highly-anticipated LP finds the Portland, Maine native exploring her own “inherent dualities … both the internal and external, the before and after. Her most palpable fears and memories are on display here, with a familiar vulnerability even more direct than her last effort.”
Already we’ve heard lead single “Billions of Eyes”, a roaring garage rock jam. Now, Spaltro tempers her energy on “Spat Out Spit”, a more reflective number strewn with sumptuous horns. “As you listen and view, I encourage you to notice how uniquely strange you are, and how unwaveringly, incredibly, mesmerizingly brilliant it is that you exist at all,” she says of the song.
Despite the track’s more mellowed out tone, Spaltro’s vocals — which cruise high and low effortlessly — are still such a marvelous instrument to behold. Check it out below via its corresponding lyric video which features footage from a documentary called “Let’s Make A Film”.
Spaltro has also lined up an extensive spring tour in support of the new album. Consult her full itinerary.
