Toronto singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell will release her highly anticipated new album Anniversary via Outside Music. Recorded in a 200-year-old church in Ontario, the project is an evocative collection of original love songs that balances buoyant earworms and poignant ballads, ultimately emerging as an earnest celebration of commitment.
Ahead of the release, Abigail has revealed a final glimpse into the project with the album’s focus track and video ‘Flowers in my Hair.’ The track features acclaimed indie-folk band Great Lake Swimmers’ frontman Tony Dekker and is a sunny acapella singalong that acts as an ode to summertime.
Lapell expands, “‘Flowers In My Hair’ is a summery song about skinny dipping and lying around sunbathing, covered in flowers, and feeling carefree and in love – or, at least, in love enough for the moment.” Recorded live-off-the-floor in a 200-year-old church, the earworm captures joyful, off-the-cuff harmonies that float across claps and layered stomps, infused with the natural reverb of the unique recording space.
