Abigail Lapell takes on love and superstition in the new video for ‘Rattlesnake’. This single is from her new full-length album ‘Anniversary’. The album was recorded at the 200-year-old St. Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario and was produced by Tony Dekker. The video features Lapell and band performing in the ornate hall in St. Mark’s.
“Rattlesnake is an ode to love and superstition,” says Lapell, “The trad-inspired track combines powerhouse vocals and slightly distorted finger-style electric guitar. The serpentine melody unspools around a catchy refrain, doubling vocal lines about archaic love omens and herbalist incantations to timeless yet modern effect.”
Lapell is scheduled to tour extensively throughout Canada in Spring 2024. ‘Anniversary’ is available now from Outside Music.
