“…a spellbinding concoction of outer-worldly electronics…” - Twisted Soul

Idiosyncratic newcomer STANLÆY prepares to release her beguiling new single the_everything_inbetween on 17th November 2022.

Creating subtle and ever-evolving textures throughout, STANLÆY’s latest release is a wonderfully weird slice of experimental electronica. Entrancing electronics are met with spellbinding strings as STANLÆY’s alluringly distinctive vocal style soars effortlessly above. Talking about the single, STANLÆY explains, “I was meditating during lockdown and saw one of my friends - who was struggling mentally - in front of me, like a monument, frozen in time and made of some kind of stone. I saw many other tall ancestral monuments sat around me and suddenly I saw a glow from inside of the rock figure in front of me that was representative of my friend. It was what I call spirit. The spaces between the gaps allowed this light to leave his body and glow from within him. It became a way of me describing the interconnectedness of everything inside of us, and the way I believe we can begin to integrate the dark and lighter memories/traumas into a human that feels whole and connected”.

STANLÆY is an independent producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Bristol. Recent collaborations include with Ishmael Ensemble on their BBC 6Music Album of the Year as harpist and vocalist, and as guest vocalist with Snazzback for Giles Peterson’s We Out Here. Previous supporters include the likes of The Evening Standard, God is In The TV, Songwriting Magazine and Twisted Soul to name a few.
