Beatrix unveils ‘Class Reunion’ as she announces sophomore album We Swallowed The Sky
Beatrix announces her new single ‘Class Reunion’ alongside details of her sophomore album We Swallowed The Sky, set for release on April 24 via Nice Life Recording Company. The LA-based orchestral indie rock, folk, and chamber-pop project of Arielle Kasnetz introduces the release with the illustrative track and official video, out now to stream and watch.
‘Class Reunion’ showcases Kasnetz’s storytelling precision, tracing the uneasy encounter of former lovers reconnecting a decade later. The track reflects the album’s off-kilter yet carefully arranged sound, moving between hushed intimacy and expansive full-band moments. Across We Swallowed The Sky, pedal steel threads through the record as a ghostly presence, embodying the lingering weight of a long-gone relationship. The album was co-produced by Philip Etherington and Ehren Ebbage, with core recordings captured as a trio before expanding to a wider ensemble including Harrison Whitford, Ryan Lerman, Sean Hurley, Rob Humphries, Zac Rae, Greg Leisz, CJ Camerieri, Jesse Chandler, and Rob Moose.
As if a prophecy, she says:
“Ten years later, they see each other at a class reunion. He has never quite moved on and desperately wants to talk. There have been a handful of attempts to reconnect over the years, but they’ve always been shut down. He sips a gin and tonic in the corner, working up the nerve to say hello. The conversation is brief and awkward— he fumbles over his words, bragging about his work. He can feel his chance slipping away and starts to have a panic attack. Everyone is pointing and laughing in slow motion. He wakes up, and she’s gone. It wasn’t real — it was just a nightmare. But one thing is true — no one loves him like she did.”
‘Class Reunion’ is out now. We Swallowed The Sky arrives April 24 via Nice Life Recording Company. Available now on all streaming platforms.
