Lily & Madeleine's anticipated new full-length album, Keep It Together, is out now on New West Records. Recorded at home in Bloomington, Ind. with producer Paul Mahern, who also helmed Lily & Madeleines lauded debut and sophomore albums, the 10-song record features the help of friends and touring band members Shannon Hayden (cello, mandolin, guitar, Moog) and Kate Siefker (drums, percussion, guitar, bass).
Of the project, Madeleine comments, Working with a closer knit team of just four ladies helped tighten our sound and unify each track into a complete collection. The title of the album is a lyric from the first track Not Gonna, which Lily wrote. This simple phrase has a lot of meaning to us: keep your shit together, keep our relationship as sisters together, pressure to keep our image a certain way as young ladies.
Lily adds, Along with reflecting on the personal bonds that Madeleine and I both have, I also really wanted to focus more on the bigger picture and write about the experience of being a white woman in America and a college-age kid in the 21st century. As I attempt to further discover who I am as an individual, the way society wants me to define myself is becoming clearer. It seems to me that young people are the same everywhere: regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic class. All young adults are in the same boat, trying to figure out what makes us individuals and trying to find our value in society.
The new recording comes on the heels of the prolific duos highly-regarded sophomore release, Fumes, and is the their third full-length album in three years, following an EP and two LPs on Sufjan Stevens label Asthmatic Kitty. Of their last effort ELLE Magazine asserted, ...the twosome, known for their pinpoint harmonies and vocal precision, had no reservations about flipping the script this go-round: They amped-up the production and gave their new albuma far more bombastic sound, while NPR Music praised, Fumes is a misleading record, the way a masterfully performed dance is misleading: It looks easy only because the complexities behind it are unfathomable to outsiders. Theres a borderlessness to Lily & Madeleine that leans from seamlessly natural to mesmerizingly preternatural, hinting at deeper forces at work than skill and practice. Since their debut in 2013, the duo has performed on CBS This Morning, KCRWs Morning Becomes Eclectic, NPR Musics Tiny Desk Concert series and A Prairie Home Companion.
About Shannon Hayden:
Ground breaking cellist Shannon Hayden began playing cello at the age of 7, and over the next several years studied and competed both nationally and internationally. Her playing attracted the attention of acclaimed cellists Janos Starker and Aldo Parisot, who invited her to enroll in the Yale School of Music at 18 to begin graduate studies. While there she concentrated primarily on 20th century music and had the opportunity to work with contemporary composers Ezra Laderman and David Lang. Interest in furthering the range and the future role of her instrument continued and even eclipsed her interest in traditional cello works. Reluctant to accept offers from recognized and established groups after graduation Shannon released her second album, Solid State Cello, combining both classical and pop elements.
Shannon Hayden's third album, You See The World, walks a thin line between avant experimental and more accessible themes. Her sound has been described as an emotionally charged journey through surreal, sonic landscapes. She performs her own compositions around the world, while also providing multi-instrumental work for the Asthmatic Kitty Records artist Lily and Madeleine.
