Most do you know for the last three or four years I’ve been making music with an incredible group of musicians. We are called Lyra & The Light and we were featured on NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest: Top Shelf with Bobby Carter and Robin Hilton!!

AND we’re finally getting ready to bring this whole strange little world we’ve created out into the light. So if you are in LA join us on November 12 we’re doing our entire album live at Skylight Theatre in Los Feliz.

Then on November 20, our first single from this new chapter, “Shadow Creatures,” arrives everywhere, with more music rolling out throughout 2027 and finally we will release the full album.

This album is really a journey. Both cinematic and ethereal then grunge, dark, weird and LOUD sprinkled with a bit of Americana to keep us wholesome. Like I said…a journey!

And we’re doing this independently, which means every recording, musician, rehearsal, venue, camera, crew member and all the other million things that go into making something like this happen are being funded by us.

So if you’d like to support us, there are a couple ways to become a Shadow Creature:

🖤 Come to the November 12 show in LA.

🖤 Or, if you can’t be there but want to support the band, you can donate whatever amount feels right. Links on our website which is in our IG bio @lyraandthelight

If you come to the show or donate, we will send you a private link to hear the album WAY ahead of its public release.

Come into the shadows with us this spooky season!

LYRA & THE LIGHT
Debut album coming soon @lyraandthelight

An acoustic glimpse of Eye to Eye
a quieter window into one corner our band.

We’ve taken our time with this debut.
Three years of listening, shaping, letting the music become what it wanted to be.
A place where my voice could move freely, without holding back, without choosing just one path. For me, the vocal experience I felt when singing LIVE actually translated when recording this album, at last ;) AND we allowed ourselves to go wherever the music took us without limitations or “genre” concern. Eternally grateful to David and this band for that in particular.

This album lives in many spaces, but holds as one body, one journey. To me it moves through archetypal realms, mythic and instinctual, unfolding as it goes.

We’d love to invite you into our musical world. This song was filmed by @adampetrishin at the studio where we recorded @snagglehouse

I’m so excited to finally release this music TBD on release date :) @8thhouse @heh_ree_ow_uhn
