A little over a year ago, I was driving around with my friend. She had her music library on shuffle and one song caught my ears. There was something about it that was very attractive.
The music, the voice, the beats. It was just a good song. After pulling out my phone and sound-hounding the song, I found out that the song was “ILYSB” by a band named LANY.
Have I ever heard of LANY? Nope.
Fast forward to a few months later. LANY escaped my radar (I am not sure why). I was on Spotify and another song by them popped up in the “Discover” section (“yea, babe, no way”). Recognizing the name, I decided to play it. I am so grateful that I did.
Many artists go unnoticed for how incredible they truly are. Not for any specific reason, it just happens that way. The world of music is a weird place. So here I am, to tell you about a hot band you should probably give a chance.
LANY is a band from Los Angeles, California consisting of three people: Paul Klein, Jake Goss, and Les Priest. They have three EP’s, “I Loved You” (2015), “Make Out” (2015), and “kinda” (2016), along with their first self-titled album, “LANY,” that was just released on June 30th, 2017.
LANY is very rhythmic. They provoke a very California vibe while filling you with nostalgia. Lead singer Paul Klein's melodious voice can calm you down, whilst filling you with a feeling of energy and excitement.
Songs such as “4ever!,” “ILYSB,” “Super Far,” and “Good Girls” demonstrate a more upbeat tempo of the band, whereas songs such as “current location,” “Walk Away,” and “Hericane” show their soulful side. LANY tends to go against the norm for the type of music that is filling the charts today.
They focus on rhythm, feelings, and spreading energy through the beats of their music. Their style varies, while still staying true to who they are as artists and their goals as a band. No matter what, they leave you feeling aesthetically pleased. Do yourself a favor and listen to LANY. I guarantee you will not regret it.
