Washington multimedia artists Channing Showalter and Annie Schermer, aka West of Roan, mark the upcoming release of their second album and first for SPINSTER, Queen of Eyes, with a video premiere for serenely sylvan new single, ‘By All The Light’, a dreamweaver recalling the bucolic works of Anne Briggs, Joanna Newsom and Big Blood.

Showalter’s pantheist, primitivist imagery chronicles creation’s manifold splendours in a succession of expressively glyphic dioramas, reflecting the song’s core message of finding a fabled solace in our surroundings and also one another, as the pair (both members of acclaimed freak-folk collective Doran) lullaby on the phrase, ‘Sing, sing a song of living through the dying of the day,' to accompaniments of sweetly arpeggiating guitar and the gentle ebb-and-flow of a tenderly burring fiddle.

Queen of Eyes will be released via SPINSTER on July 12
