Lael Neale Announces New Album As Killers Do: Hear “Slip Away”
Just last year, the LA-based indie rock minimalist Lael Neale released her album Altogether Stranger on Sub Pop. This fall, she'll follow that LP with a new one called As Killers Do — sick title — on her own label Consensual Sound.

Indie rock artist Lael Neale, known for her minimalist sound, has announced her upcoming album As Killers Do, set for release on 11/20 through her own label, Consensual Sound. The lead single "Slip Away," a haunting garage rock track, showcases Neale's eclectic influences, blending elements of Stereolab and the Ramones. Recorded in her Echo Park kitchen using a Tascam eight-track machine and produced by longtime collaborator Guy Blakeslee, "Slip Away" features Neale's vibrant vocals and Blakeslee's guitar work.
The track's lyrics ponder the insignificance of human achievements amidst the inevitable passage of time, with Neale stating, "We act as little gods... All that we build, create, collect and become, to be taken away." The music video for "Slip Away" is an animated montage of Neale's black-and-white paintings, while the tracklist includes songs like "I Wanna Be Unwound," "As Killers Do," and "Only Passing Through."
Neale's live tour for As Killers Do includes appearances in France, the UK, and the United States, with a stop in New York at the Sony Hall on 9/19.
