Lael Neale – “Some Bright Morning”

Sometimes, the Los Angeles-based musician Lael Neale makes chiming, hazy psychedelia that gives me that old Stereolab/Broadcast feeling. Sometimes, she takes things in a very different direction. That’s what she does on her new single “Some Bright Morning.” It’s a bright, chirpy rock ‘n’ roll song with a few lightly spaced-out touches. A press release mentions the Velvet Underground’s “Train Comin’ Round the Bend,” which makes total sense, but the first thing I thought of was the Grateful Dead covering Buddy Holly.
