Annabelle Chairlegs – Waking Up

Annabelle Chairlegs, the moniker of Austin, TX based singer-songwriter Lindsey Mackin, today has announced her new Ty Segall-produced album Waking Up, due out January 30th via TODO.

The announcement arrives alongside the release of her warm, propulsive new single “Concrete Trees,” which is accompanied by a Pooneh Ghana directed video, and has already earned press support from Brooklyn Vegan.

“Concrete Trees” follows previous single “Ice Cream On The Beach.”

“This is a song I wrote about a friend, Steph, who passed away. A sprint through Manhattan with a ghost!” Mackin explains. “We grew up together and worked at a Scottish butcher shop in Kearny, NJ along with some of our other friends, my great aunt Mary, and the owner/butcher himself,  Al Stewart. Steph died in 2018 and I wrote this track shortly after that after waking up from a dream. Oddly enough just this year we lost Aunt Mary and Al. This song is for friends who have passed that you wish you could have one more hang with. I often find myself asking those who have passed and if they are here with us now.” 

On Waking Up, Mackin finds herself exploring grittier, more mechanical textures, while maintaining her knack for blissful hooks and melodies.
