about

CA—Seth Lael’s third album “Cheap Boyfriend” comes from the hard lessons love teaches us. It feels like road music for the springtime, love songs for the summer grass, and gently saying goodbye to the past. Celebrating electric guitar and many sweet harmonies, Seth wrote the record while traveling in Northern California in his van. Seth self-produced and mixed the record at Secret Studios in SF. McKay Garner, Seth's cohort from the previous album Bird Strings, mixed the song "Everybody" and mastered the new album.

Seth’s sound gives him a platform to explore the interlocking relationship realities of his life. These songs journey from beachy summer skate parties to hill country cabins and back. The sweet car jam track “High Drive” features a lovely vocal turn from Miss Erma, adding a beautiful new dimension to the music.

Where will Seth go next? It's hard to imagine that he can top his west coast Bird Strings tour of 2017. But hopefully, by summer 2021, he can come and say hi at whatever venue in town plays Talking Heads or Mac Demarco.
