Lancelot Schaubert is a multi-talented artist who has written for a variety of markets and publications, including TOR (Macmillan), The New Haven Review, and McSweeney’s, among others. His latest project, the album All Who Wander, is an indie electronic-lo-fi rock offering with a Christian message. The album takes inspiration from an ancient hymn of Aeschylus to Zeus, which Schaubert revised and set to a Postal Service vibe.
The result is a collection of songs that are experimental, chill, and happy, yet also introspective and soulful. The tracks are a reflection of Schaubert’s personal journey, which has been marked by heartache, trauma, and regret. He shares this journey with his listeners, providing a path through the darkest parts of life.
The album’s characters also show up in Schaubert’s forthcoming debut novel, Bell Hammers. While the album and novel stand alone, they also work together like twins, sharing psychology, souls, and a sort of mind meld and transposition rarely found across artistic media. This makes All Who Wander an artifact from the world of Bell Hammers and The Vale, from stories Schaubert has sold and stories he will soon publish.
