Annabelle Chairlegs, aka Austin-based singer-songwriter Lindsey Mackin, has announced her third album, Waking Up, which will be out January 30 via TODO, the label co-founded by rock photographer Pooneh Ghana, Simon Halliday, and Meesh Halliday. The album was produced by Ty Segall at his Harmonizer Studio in Topanga Canyon.
We’ve got the premiere of the video for very catchy new single “Concrete Trees” which was directed by Pooneh Ghana. “This is a song I wrote about a friend, Steph, who passed away. A sprint through Manhattan with a ghost!” Mackin says. “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.”
