L-Shaped Room EP is out everywhere now 🥹

These 5 alt rock songs were borne out of frustration, loss, anger, hope, and renewal, and center around the two most significant romantic relationships of the last year or so of my life. They were all recorded in the room you see right there on the cover, drawn by my girlfriend Merry , who also plays a ton of instruments on the record including cello, Korg MS20, mellotron, and more.

It’s the most approachable and bite-sized Shaylee release by a wide margin, clocking in at just over 20 minutes and 30 seconds. What’s not to love?

Hit the bandcamp link in the bio and grab a CD or a download! Go stream it on your favorite hellscape simulator. Come to the release show tomorrow at w/ . Do none of that and ignore my musical output forever. It’s your life. Live it to the fullest or you’ll be disappointed you didn’t.

You read that right. You’ve always been so good at reading. It was always one of your best qualities…you know, before the accident. Since then, things have been different. You’ve stopped releasing albums and started releasing these confounded little anomalies called…what is it, an extended play? Oh, pity. You’ve always had so much to say. Now things are so different.

Well, we ought to celebrate anyway, I suppose. Why don’t we get a bill together with some of the most exciting talent on the rise in this little city of ours? How about…oh yes, how about , perhaps some , and to open the night, ? Oh yes, what a delight that night shall be come March 7th! Let’s just hope you’ll be able to make it, given your injuries.

My 23.5min prog epic “I’m Afraid You’ll Starve” is out everywhere now. I played just about every guitar in my studio on it, every synth i own, and abandoned the click track after about 3 and a half minutes in. It was inspired by Merry’s () album You & Me in the Miracle Machine, which proved to me that one-woman-band prog was possible, and in response, I set out to create a song longer than anything she’d released as a creative exercise.

I wrote it in the midst of a confusing relationship, primarily directed towards someone I was scared of falling in love with at the time. It’s stuck in the middle of a thousand different conflicting emotions, with desire and fear standing out the most. In other words, it’s about how I fall in love, all chaos and internal turmoil fully intact.

Happy new year and happy 1 year anniversary to my 1st Elle Archer album Real & Fake. Here’s to another year of music and life and love and everything in between. I love all of you.

I’ll be releasing a 23.5min prog epic called “I’m Afraid You’ll Starve” on January 1st. This will be my last Elle Archer solo release for a while as I refocus my attention to Shaylee.

Speaking of which - we’ve got a pair of killer shows coming up in the new year. First is January 8th at for .bait ‘s PDX comeback show alongside and , then we’ll be playing on January 23rd with .mp3 and . Something for everyone here, punk, power pop, noisy cacophony, it’s all there.

We’ll see you then 🫡 Swipe for flyers.

• JAN 8
• w/ .bait

• JAN 23
• w/ .mp3

Surprise! “Cum Geyser” is out now, two days early! Link’s in the bio for all who want their final dose of Shaylee punk energy before we settle down and finally become the adult alternative act we’ve always been destined to be.

To celebrate, we’ll be playing a release show this Sunday at w/ & , but not before I play a solo set on Saturday at to benefit the Belmont Free Fridge, organized by & 💕

Hope to see you there 🫵
