John Cale Shares Video for New Song “Lazy Day”: Watch

John Cale has returned with a new song to follow his Kelly Lee Owens collaboration. This one’s called “Lazy Day.” It arrives with a new music video directed by Abby Portner. Watch it below.

“I was so ready to finally get my new album out; fits and starts and then damn 2020 happened! A lot to say in these times,” Cale said in a statement. “Context is everything and 140 characters isn’t going to cut it! As a songwriter my truth is all tied-up in and through those songs that must wait a while longer. And then it occurred to me that I do have something for the moment, a song I’d recently completed… With the world careening out of its orbit I wanted to stop the lurch and enjoy a period where we can take our time and breathe our way back into a calmer world.”

Cale’s most recent studio album M:FANS, released in 2016, was a complete reimagining of his 1982 solo album Music For a New Society. In August, his collaborative album with Brian Eno, Wrong Way Up, was reissued on vinyl.
