Vestals is the solo venture of San Francisco artist Lisa McGee, a project of slow-burning, drone-based dream pop that at times remind me of some kind of more straight-forward, song-centered Grouper. McGee's first work under this moniker,
Forever Falling Toward the Sky, is a gentle, shoegaze-informed set of five tracks that are invariably honest and beautiful and sad. Listen to the opening track "Forever Falling" below.
Forever Falling Toward the Sky is out June 15 on
Root Strata (
Boomkat says the LP is already out of stock, but apparently you can still order it via
Thrill Jockey).
