Following three critically acclaimed albums with his band Lost Ragas, Shane Reilly releases the first single ‘Parallel Lives’ from his upcoming solo album Under The Sky on August 29.
‘Parallel Lives’ appears from a cloud of Shane’s signature psychedelic pedal steel and launches into a chorus heavily laden with melody , passion and honesty the likes of which admirers of John Lennon and Richard Hawley could appreciate.
As the title suggests , it’s a song about the paths of life, or of lives and Shane’s penchant for cinematic imagery is on display here as it is in all his work.
Recorded and produced at his own Resafornia Records studio where Shane performed the piano , acoustic guitar , pedal steel and the vocals , then on to Union St Studio where the drums and bass were tracked and mixed by Roger Bergodaz (Tex Perkins, The Cruel Sea, many others) and then skilfully mastered by Adam Dempsey (Dirty Three’s latest) it sets the pace for the upcoming full album Under The Sky and marks the beginning of a new chapter and the fulfilment of a personal promise.
Having played on stage and on records with Beck, Tex Perkins, Paul Kelly, Emma Donovan and many many more, Shane has taken these experiences, all the lives lived within them and looked at them through the lens of music.
‘Parallel Lives’ will be available on all streaming services for all to hear and enjoy on August 29, 2024.
