The experimental indie pop group played a triumphant hometown gig
Experimental indie-pop outfit Chanel Beads brought their wonderfully warped, genre-defying sound to Queens’ Knockdown Center for a mesmerizing hometown performance. Led by songwriter Shane Lavers, the NYC-based project has enjoyed a breakout year following the release of their acclaimed sophomore album, Your Day Will Come, which shares its title with their 2024 debut. Blending woozy electronics, fragmented melodies, haunting vocals, and off-kilter indie-rock textures, Chanel Beads continue to carve out a singular space in the underground music landscape. Scroll through the gallery below for highlights from the night.
