Seabird’s third record in as many years for Lame-O Records deals in mortality and reverence for the innately human, piecing her troubadour-ish folk to a grungy rock sentimentality. Though born from a period of reckoning and renewal, Seabird orients Lightspheres on Their Way around a holistic realism that buoys the spirit, with loose, earthy arrangements that meet intensity and depth with both twangy spaciousness and searing drive. Recorded and co-produced with collaborator Garrett Linck, Seabird and her band tracked Lightspheres over the first few days of 2026, holed up in Linck’s home in rural Maine. For a makeshift studio using a woodstove for warmth, Seabird and Linck capture studio-quality sonics throughout. This is most notable on the ferocious Albini-channeling single "Election Day," where Daniel Snyder's drums propel the band as Seabird expertly expands its title as not political, but rather making a painful decision between two unideal outcomes.
