Laneous announces 'Normal Music' EP with new single 'Nice Work'

 


“a genius”
- Nai Palm (Hiatus Kaiyote)

“one of the most incredible live performances I’ve seen” - Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 6)

“he's like a human centipede sewn out of all the greatest musicians from the past 80 years”
- Liam Pieper (Beat Magazine)

Laneous is back with a new 4-track EP Normal Music—the long-awaited follow-up to his 2020 singles ‘Elsewhere’ and ‘Flawless’. Touting this release as “cootie-free entertainment”, ‘Normal Music’ is the latest recorded evolution of one of Naarm/Melbourne’s (via Meanjin/Brisbane) most influential musicians.

With the exception of Perrin Moss (Hiatus Kaiyote) on drums, Laneous played everything else, writing three of the four songs mostly on-the-fly at The Grove studio in Coburg. Grammy-nominated Nick Hererra (Hiatus Kaiyote, 30/70, Nai Palm) once again handled recording, production, sonics and mixing.

Normal Music’ displays Laneous’ unique modus operandi that distinctly combines subtly humorous lyricism, catchy ditties and stunning chord progressions. It’s a gorgeous, whimsical ride showcasing the evolution of his trademark ‘mutant-soul/croon punk’ sound that will make day one Laneous fans rejoice.
