About LANY

Born from the vibrant creative hub of Los Angeles, LANY – an acronym that originally stood for Los Angeles and New York, though now representing a broader sense of place and connection – has carved out a unique and resonant niche in the modern music landscape. The band, fronted by the enigmatic Paul Jason Klein, alongside the talented Aaron Jeffries and Charles Leslie “Les” Priest, first emerged onto the scene in 2014, quickly garnering attention for their distinctive blend of melancholic synth-pop, R&B-infused grooves, and deeply personal songwriting. Their early EPs, including “Acroyali” and “Make Out,” served as a tantalising introduction to their signature sound, characterised by soaring synth lines, driving beats, and Klein’s earnest, often vulnerable vocals.

LANY’s breakthrough arrived with their self-titled debut album in 2017, a collection that solidified their status as purveyors of emotionally charged anthems. Tracks like “ILYSB” (I Love You So Bad) became instant fan favourites, its raw honesty and infectious chorus resonating with millions. This success was further cemented with subsequent releases such as “Malibu Nights” (2019), a critically acclaimed album that explored themes of heartbreak and resilience with even greater maturity and sonic depth, featuring enduring hits like the title track and the poignant “Thru These Tears.” Their third album, “gg bb xx” (2021), saw LANY embracing a more collaborative approach, working with a range of producers and artists, further diversifying their sound while retaining the core emotional connectivity that their fans cherish. Throughout their career, LANY has consistently demonstrated an ability to articulate the complexities of modern love, desire, and introspection, translating these universal feelings into universally appealing music. Their live performances are a testament to this, offering an electric and intimate experience that draws fans into their world, making them feel seen and understood through every carefully crafted lyric and soaring melody.
