Chanel Beads, the rising New York band featured in NME's latest instalment of The Cover, have released an exclusive playlist called "Eternal Music" to accompany their profile piece. The release forms part of NME's weekly series spotlighting emerging musical talent, with the accompanying feature written by Priya Elan and photographed by Eve Alpert, offering fans additional context and mood alongside the interview.

The eclectic playlist draws on an unusually broad range of influences, including tracks by film director Hal Hartley, Puerto Rican rapper Don Omar and Scottish rock band Cocteau Twins, reflecting the band's own genre-blending sound often described as a mix of new age, new wave and psychedelia. It is available to stream in full on Spotify and Apple Music. Chanel Beads, known for albums "Your Day Will Come" and breakout single "Ef", have attracted admirers including Billie Eilish, Lorde and Frank Ocean.
