Interview with SHAED
b'We had the pleasure of interviewing SHAED over Zoom video!
Genre-defying band SHAED announces their new album Spinning Out out June 7th via BMG. Pre-save the album HERE. The band also released their new single \\u201cRocket in the Sky.\\u201d
The album comprises eleven songs exploring themes of family, love, and growth. Over years of writing, recording, and producing, Spinning Out cohered as a collection of snapshots and vignettes, reflecting on love and belonging from all different angles.
\\u201cRocket in the Sky\\u201d follows \\u201cEverybody Knows I\\u2019m High\\u201d as the second single from Spinning Out. \\u201cRocket in the Sky,\\u201d while originally written about Chelsea and Spencer\\u2019s daughter June, perfectly captures the feeling of loving someone so much that you can\\u2019t even do the simplest of tasks. The creation of \\u201cRocket in the Sky\\u201d was entirely organic and \\u201csuper emotional.\\u201d Spencer and Chelsea started the song on the guitar, Max reimagined the chords on the piano, and all three finished it and tracked it in the living room.
On the production, SHAED shared, \\u201cWe produced it out in a bunch of different ways in LA, including a disco version, think \\u2018Staying Alive,\\u2019 \\u2018Dancing Queen\\u2019 energy. When we got back to DC, we listened back to the original demo and just felt that it had this unrestrained emotional performance by Chelsea that couldn\\u2019t be replicated. So we kept the original demo, layered in a few elements to build the energy of the tune, and printed it.\\u201d
About SHAED:
SHAED weren\\u2019t immune to spinning out. The trio of Chelsea Lee and twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst had been living in a whirlwind for a long time \\u2014 a long, circuitous, sometimes stop-start arc that included meeting as teenagers playing around D.C., living and writing at home together, and a surprise breakout hit in 2018\\u2019s \\u201cTrampoline.\\u201d The runaway ascension of \\u201cTrampoline\\u201d led the band through an array of dream scenario milestones \\u2014 soundtracking a MacBook Air commercial, two billion streams, and accolades from pop culture monoliths like iHeart and Billboard. But SHAED also experienced the pitfalls of following that unexpected success. Seeking a reset, the trio emerged from tumultuous times equally defined by existential crises and beautiful life changes to craft a sophomore album that was as true a statement of their identity as anything they had made thus far. There was only one name for it: Spinning Out.
Spinning Out is the sound of SHAED\\u2019s core ethos, their connection as family and musicians. Inspired by new love and parenthood, the album cohered as a collection of snapshots and vignettes, reflecting on belonging and connection from all different angles. While aided by collaborators like POWERS\\u2019 Mike Del Rio, the bulk of Spinning Out was built on SHAED, as always, writing and recording at home together, chasing a more organic and lived-in atmosphere. Across moving ballads and graceful bops alike \\u2014 including the emotionally bare title track, the soaring \\u201cRocket In The Sky,\\u201d and the hazy earworm of lead single \\u201cEverybody Knows I\\u2019m High\\u201d (debuted in SHAED\\u2019s February Kimmel performance) \\u2014 the band catalogs all the trials, euphoria, confusion, and hope that ran through a messy few years. Once upon a time Spinning Out might\\u2019ve been born from fragmentation, but it became the story of SHAED doing what they\\u2019ve always done best \\u2014 getting in a room and chasing the answer together.\\u201c
Everybody Knows I\\u2019m High\\u201d was SHAED\\u2019s follow up to their 2021 album High Dive.
