{"product_id":"alas-3","title":"Alas,","description":"\u003cp\u003eLily Seabird is a perceptive songwriter who can channel moments when everything feels raw and overwhelming into something healing and galvanizing. With Alas, the Burlington, VT-based artist’s sophomore album, she confronts grief with palpable clarity on tracks that careen from delicate folk to blistering indie rock. While it’s her second LP, it. serves as a proper introduction to an undeniable and idiosyncratic voice. “Alas, sounds way more like me,” she says. “This is the album I wanted to make in the first place.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs on \u003ci\u003eAlas,\u003c\/i\u003e came from a particularly unmoored period for Seabird. “I wrote this album in 2021 and 2022 on the road, trying to figure out who I am,” she says. “A lot of them also deal with the time when my close friend passed away. The title Alas, meant a lot to her.” Even if the songs don’t always directly tackle this specific loss, there’s a sense of mourning in how relationships change and dissolve. Take “Grace,” a reflection on female friendship, which features the lines, “I hope she’s happy now she should be 25 \/ She taught me something that I thought I’d always hide.” Elsewhere, the knotty and unpredictable “Dirge” finds her singing, “I don’t know if I believe in god \/ I don’t know if I know how to go on.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lame-O Records","offers":[{"title":"Yellow LP","offer_id":50906011271499,"sku":"2228980","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Alas_0a38ad6b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732862940","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/alas-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
