About LANY

Formed in Los Angeles in 2014, LANY has rapidly ascended to become one of the most beloved and influential synth-pop bands of their generation. Comprised of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Paul Jason Klein, and multi-instrumentalist Charles “Caz” Davis, the trio (formerly featuring Les Myles) has cultivated a distinctive sound that seamlessly blends nostalgic 80s synth-pop sensibilities with contemporary R&B grooves and introspective lyricism. Their music often explores themes of love, loss, longing, and the digital age’s impact on human connection, resonating with a global audience who find solace and understanding in their honest and relatable narratives.

LANY’s breakthrough came with their self-titled debut album in 2017, which featured a string of infectious singles that quickly garnered critical acclaim and commercial success. Tracks like “ILYSB” (I Love You So Bad) became anthems for a generation, its melancholic yet uplifting melody capturing the bittersweet nature of young love. This was followed by a string of highly successful releases, including “Malibu Nights” (2018), a critically lauded album that delved deeper into themes of heartbreak and introspection, solidifying their reputation for crafting emotionally resonant ballads. Their subsequent albums, “Mama’s Boy” (2020) and “gg bb xx” (2021), saw them continue to evolve their sound, exploring new sonic territories while maintaining their core identity. Notable hits that have defined their career include the emotionally charged “Thru These Tears,” the anthemic “Super Far,” the introspective “Hericane,” and the irresistible earworm “Dancing in the Dark.” LANY’s ability to craft songs that are both danceable and deeply personal has cemented their status as a leading force in modern pop music, with a dedicated fanbase eagerly anticipating every new release and tour.
