Shana Falana

Kingston, NY dreampop artist Shana Falana will release her first studio full-length, Set Your Lightning Fire Free, via Team Love on April 7. She made it with drummer/boyfriend Mike Amari and producer Dan Goodwin who’s worked with Devo, Kaki King and others. Says Shana:

I’ve always kept the different sides of my music separate. The ambient ballads, the fuzzed out stuff, they all needed to exist as their own statements. I would have two or three bands at one time: a sludge rock band; a Bulgarian women’s choir; a pretty, dreamy organ and guitar duo. This is the first record where I’ve combined all of that, sometimes in the course of one song.

The first single from the record is “Heavenstay,” which tilts ever just so towards goth. You can stream it below.

Shana Falana will head out on tour this weekend and will play Brooklyn’s Shea Stadium on April 4 with Spires, Monograms, and Gingerlys. All dates are listed below.
