As Globelamp, Elizabeth Le Fey engages in several tugs-of-war – mystical vs. corporeal, hopeful vs. skeptical and, on her new single, here vs. afar. The singer-songwriter’s debut album “Star Dust,” which came out in June, exuded a childlike innocence that belied the often-dark morality tales spun in a reverb-heavy web of psychedelia. Now Le Fey, a onetime touring member of Foxygen, is working on a new album with producer Joel Jerome (aka Joel Morales), and Globelamp’s new single is out on his Psychedelic Thriftstore Folk imprint. She’s a a southern California native now based in Olympia, Wash., and Le Fey mourns her sense of displacement: “I want a California sun and a Washington moon / in the same room, at the same time,” she sings amidst the beautiful imagery in “Washington Moon,” before acknowledging she “can’t be in two different places.”
