Chanel Beads is the project of New York–based musician Shane Lavers, known for crafting emotionally charged, genre-defying soundscapes that blur the boundaries between experimental pop, ambient, and indie rock. Emerging from Brooklyn’s underground scene, Lavers has drawn attention for his textural production, fragmented melodies, and introspective lyricism. Signed to Jagjaguwar, Chanel Beads has earned critical acclaim for work that captures the tension between digital abstraction and raw human feeling, positioning Lavers as one of contemporary music’s most forward-thinking and evocative new voices.
