Here’s a new one I made for “Kurosawa’s Dreams and Me,” an instrumental track off Mantic. (That’s me in the hospital bed, oh my). Hope you like.
And here’s a live video of “Via Elysian Fields: Lake Pontchartrain” shot by Safe // Sound this past summer in a Savannah…
I love this region… moody, inclement, cloud-covered. I can’t help but think of woodsy, eerie towns and the mysteries in between a la Twin Peaks. It’s spooky up there, but undeniably beautiful. Here’s to getting lost in it.
Come see me play in Olympia (12/15), Portland (12/16), and Anacortes (12/18). More details: http://ladylazarus.net/shows/.
My existential leap-of-faith/West Coast tour kicks off Friday, Nov. 25, in the fervent, torch-bearing City of Oakland, CA…
Here’s the full list of dates with individual show details right here. I hope to add one more show in Sacramento soon, so please stay tuned. Can’t wait to see you out there.
you no longer believe in anything
movement of train, mauve waves
grammar’s anomie
gets you down or
war at the back and crown of head
… PsyOps, o chicken little the sky! the sky!

Exclusive Premiere: The Marshmallow Ghosts’ excerpts from “Corpse Reviver No. 2″
This is the first I’ve seen of these two new videos from our “supergroup,” The Marshmallow Ghosts, and I must admit I had to watch the first one with my hands over my eyes! Pretty/gory stuff. As I mentioned in earlier posts, the project features Lady Lazarus on vocals, members of Black Moth Super Rainbow, Dreamend, Hospital Ships, and Casket Girls, and is out now via Graveface.
Really excited to be a part of FMLY FEST this year along with Blackbird Blackbird, Pregnant, Yohuna, Steffaloo, and many more amazing bands and artists. The festival takes place Thursday, Dec. 29 & Friday, Dec. 30 across a few venues in LA; tickets are on sale now with set times and more details to come.

A South Africa-based blog, The Weekly Mixtape, asked me to make a mixtape for them. Mine features Vashti Bunyan, Guided By Voices, Lana Del Rey & a few more favorites as of late. Check it out: http://www.theweeklymixtape.com/lady-lazarus.html.
