Chanel Beads' second album shares its title with the project's 2024 breakthrough debut — a perfectly duplicitous move, equal parts wry wink and deeply serious statement. This is a completely new body of work, not a sequel. Shane Lavers pushes the sound into a darker, more tangible space that more closely resembles the live show bringing in so many fans.

The cult following built around 'Police Scanner' (10m+ streams) is about to get a lot bigger. Cosigns from Rosalía, Frank Ocean, Caroline Polachek, and Billie Eilish; BBC 6 Music support; arena tours with Lorde. This is the one.

For fans of: Mount Kimbie, Grizzly Bear, James Blake
