On 'Altogether Stranger', Lael Neale distills years of creative solitude and urban immersion into a compact, emotionally vivid LP. Written in early morning stillness and recorded with longtime collaborator Guy Blakeslee, this nine-track collection balances minimalist drone pop with garage rock, Motorik pulses, and Omnichord meditations. Her songwriting is both intimate and expansive, fusing the cosmic with the everyday and echoing the sounds of gospel, Spacemen 3, and The Velvet Underground.

The record captures Neale’s recurring themes—alienation, modernity, polarity—with stark beauty and poetic insight. Her crystalline vocals drift above lo-fi textures, revealing a uniquely handcrafted intimacy. Rooted in her Virginian upbringing yet formed in Los Angeles’ haze, 'Altogether Stranger' is both a personal reverie and a reflection of the fragile absurdities of contemporary life. At just 32 minutes, it’s a concise yet richly layered step forward from her earlier works, offering a surreal vision of Neale as both alien observer and spiritual guide.
