Info for Spinning Out

Chelsea Lee, Spencer Ernst, and Max Ernst of SHAED are back at it once again, releasing their newest album, "Spinning Out". The 11 track album will be the band’s third after High Dive (2021) and Melt (2018).

Shaed weren’t immune to Spinning Out. The trio of Chelsea Lee and twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst had been living in a whirlwind for a long time – a long, circuitous, sometimes stop-start arc that included meeting as teenagers playing around D.C., living and writing at home together, and a surprise breakout hit in 2018’s “Trampoline.” The runaway ascension of “Trampoline” led the band through an array of dream scenario milestones – soundtracking a MacBook Air commercial, two billion streams, and accolades from pop culture monoliths like iHeart and Billboard. But Shaed also experienced the pitfalls of following that unexpected success. Seeking a reset, the trio emerged from tumultuous times equally defined by existential crises and beautiful life changes to craft a sophomore album that was as true a statement of their identity as anything they had made thus far. There was only one name for it: Spinning Out.

Spinning Out is the sound of Shaed’s core ethos, their connection as family and musicians. Inspired by new love and parenthood, the album cohered as a collection of snapshots and vignettes, reflecting on belonging and connection from all different angles. While aided by collaborators like POWERS’ Mike Del Rio, the bulk of Spinning Out was built on Shaed, as always, writing and recording at home together, chasing a more organic and lived-in atmosphere. Across moving ballads and graceful bops alike – including the emotionally bare title track, the soaring “Rocket In The Sky,” and the hazy earworm of lead single “Everybody Knows I’m High” (debuted in Shaed’s February Kimmel performance) – the band catalogs all the trials, euphoria, confusion, and hope that ran through a messy few years. Once upon a time Spinning Out might’ve been born from fragmentation, but it became the story of Shaed doing what they’ve always done best – getting in a room and chasing the answer together.

SHAED
Multi-platinum D.C. trio SHAED spent much of 2018 and 2019 supporting their global breakout single “Trampoline.” With nearly 2 billion streams to-date, feverish radio play - #1 on the Alternative and Rock Airplay charts and national television performances.

In free moments between international festival dates and headline tours, SHAED - Chelsea Lee, her husband Spencer Ernst, and his twin brother Max Ernst - found themselves co-writing on the road with renowned songwriters and producers, creating an album-worth of songs under the pressure of following-up their first commercial hit.

Soon the band discovered that what would have been their debut album no longer felt personal. “We had a chance to take a serious look at all of the songs in front of us, and one thing was clear - they no longer told our truth. They didn’t feel genuine because we had lost sight of why we started making music together - to create music that was honest and true to our own experience,” explains the band.

SHAED scrapped everything they had written and started from scratch. Throughout the remainder of 2020, the band recorded a new set of songs in their home studio, digging deep into the anxiety, depression, and fear that the pandemic brought on.

SHAED’s debut album High Dive features collaborations with Two Feet, ZAYN, and Lewis Del Mar. The band also teamed up on various tracks with producers Ariel Rechtshaid and New Zealand-based Josh Fountain.

This album contains no booklet.
