Los Angeles-based trio LANY (which stands for Los Angeles New York) were formed in 2014 by three friends: Paul Jason Klein, Leslie Priest and Jake Goss. LANY makes music that aims an arrow straight at your heart; beautiful songs with swashes of synth, spare percussion, echoes of prime 1980s FM pop, of early-1990s R&B, of new-wave electronica, combining melody and lyrics to put down roots in your head and capture your heart. The songs on their eponymous debut are equally devastating and alluring, in a way that you can't quite explain but you surely can feel.
