Titling your sophomore album the exact same as your debut is, objectively, a mildly annoying thing to do – the sort of behaviour reserved for artists who own expensive incense and speak in open-ended questions. Yet, Your Day Will Come does anything but tread familiar ground. Instead, it arrives as a stranger, more emotionally waterlogged reintroduction to Shane Lavers’ uncanny world as Chanel Beads.

Lavers’ fascination with uncertainty hangs over the record like humidity, whether through the uneasy coexistence of love and nihilism or the presence of a narrator too clouded to fully trust. There’s a persistent sense of emotional drift throughout the album, as though every track is trying to hold onto something already slipping away.

That fogginess runs through the album’s most immediate pleasures. Standout “JBL in the Fireplace” lands with a bruised sort of intimacy that recalls both early Kevin Abstract and Nourished by Time, while “Beaten With Sticks” drops vocals entirely in favour of a cinematic, slow-building suspense. Elsewhere, tracks blur together in a way that feels intentional rather than underdeveloped, creating the sensation of wandering through the record rather than simply listening to it.

Your Day Will Come doesn’t feel fully formed so much as deliberately unfinished, its rough edges presented as part of the work rather than a problem to fix – and it’s all the better for it. There’s something refreshing about how little interest Chanel Beads seems to have in clarity. It’s messy, occasionally frustrating, and often beautiful in ways that are difficult to explain with traditional language – which, fittingly, feels entirely like the point.
