Alexandra Savior – Beneath The Lilypad

Acclaimed, alt-pop force Alexandra Savior has released her highly anticipated third studio album Beneath The Lilypad via RCA Records.

Produced by Drew Erickson (Lana Del Rey, Father John Misty) and standing as a testament to Savior’s resilience, Beneath The Lilypad features smoky, cinematic singles “Unforgivable” and “The Mothership,” and captures a journey through uncertainty. Today’s release also welcomes atmospheric, bittersweet new single “Goodbye, Old Friend,” a post-mortem of a relationship that takes a close look at the role Savior herself played in its demise.

“‘Goodbye, Old Friend’ was one of the first songs we recorded. I think it paved the way to what the rest of the record was going to sound like,” shares Savior. “It’s about the aftermath of a relationship and going over a situation and seeing the roles that I played, and the roles other people played and letting go of it.”

Existing between planes and genres, Beneath The Lilypad does not tread a linear path. “Because that’s not how life goes, and that’s certainly not been true of my mental health journey,” Savior adds. “I wanted this album to really reflect that. Life is up and down. It wouldn’t have been true to who I am or where I am to have told this story any other way.” 

A peek into how Savior experiences the world, the view from Beneath The Lilypad represents the experience of psychosis — being underwater and looking up at the world from the underside of life. “The beauty and the reality of what we see is the lily on the surface of the water,” Savior shares. “To be beneath it and see the roots, my perception of what everybody else is experiencing can be different and darker and blurred.”

In tandem with the release of the album, Savior has announced a string of west coast dates set to kick off August 6 in San Diego. Bringing her incomparable live show to Los Angeles and Santa Ana, Savior will also be taking the stage at Outside Lands in San Francisco. Artist pre-sale begins today at 12:00pm PT ahead of general on-sale on Tuesday, May 20 at 10:00am local time.
