LANY by Alessio Boni

LANY – Kiss

Posted on December 10, 2015 by Indietronica Staff

LANY by Alessio Boni

Nashville-born and now Los Angeles-based, LANY are developing into a better and better band every time we hear them.

When discussing the meaning behind new track, ‘Kiss’, lead singer Paul Klein says. “This song is about liars. It’s about people who don’t have the balls to tell you the legitimate truth. They’ll water it down, beat around the bush, spin it whatever way they have to. They’re probably scared to tell you what really happened or how they really feel because they ‘love you.’ But they actually just love themselves.”

‘Kiss’ has been taken off their new EP, ‘Make Out’, to be released on 11 December via Polydor Records.

They are also opening for Elle Goulding during her UK tour in March. But remember, we saw them first!

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Indietronica Staff

Their latest track ‘Lack of Black Gold’ is beautifully emotive track, filled with M83-esque falsetto lines and synth tapestries, and luxurious hip-hop glitches throughout.

Skymachine have drawn inspiration from a love for the night and an almost escapist lyrical theme.

A debut EP will be out soon. Watch this space!

We love how different each LANY track sounds. Every one unveils a new layer of dreampop that tastes sweeter and sweeter upon each listen.
