Dallas-based vocalist and experimental-pop chanteuse Lily Taylor is pleased to present “Ever New” the final pre-release single from her anticipated new album Amphora out July 21 (pre-order). This stunning musical journey is sure to captivate listeners with its mix of avant-pop, ambient pop, and experimental sounds. “Ever New” debuted at Son Of Marketing and is on all streaming services for any playlist shares. The single follows the release of “Kepler Wells” and “J&J” which were released earlier this year.
On “Ever New” Lily Taylor says:
“Ever New” is a track written by myself and Black Taffy and recorded at Elmwood Recording in Oak Cliff, Dallas, TX for the album, Amphora. We wanted to produce something meditative that captured the spirit of an expanding idea, something like the feeling of being on a rooftop and seeing a new perspective. I started the story with a walk on the beach at sunrise, being the most grounding imaginal space I could think of. The swells of the tide, the inhalation and exhalation of breath, the pattern of the sun, we tend to take these rhythms for granted in our everyday life. My hope is that while listening to this song, people feel a sense of calm and grounding. With each step that we take, we have the possibility to gain perspective, remember where we’ve been, and be inspired by the possibilities of where we will go.
Lily Taylor will be performing on Thursday, July 13 at Cheer Up Charlies in Austin, TX at their Nite School event. The show will also include performances by Troller and Flesh of Morning. Tickets are available HERE.
Amphora takes its name from the Ancient Greek vessel, the amphora, which served as a container for precious liquids. In this case, Lily Taylor is the vessel, delivering a musical experience that is both powerful and delicate. The themes of duality, time, and introspection run throughout the album, creating a deeply personal and introspective atmosphere.
Recorded at Elmwood Recording in Oak Cliff, Amphora was produced by a dream team of talented producers, Black Taffy, Lily Taylor herself and Alex Bhore. The track-listing includes ten original songs, each one a masterpiece in its own right.
