Lealani Fantastic Planet

2019 has been a propulsive year for Pomona singer-songwriter Lealani, presenting her debut album Fantastic Planet with a powerful and magnetic response. Releasing the experimental synth-pop album with Dome of Doom on cassette and digital platforms January 18th, a vinyl version is slated for release on the 26th of July. With a limited run of 500 clear red prints, a handful of copies will be available for her opening set with Billy Woods and Kenny Segal (June 27th at The York Manor in LA).

Over the last six months, Lealani has exposed her sound to audiences around the world, receiving coverage from publications and radio outlets such as The Wire, Triple J, L.A. Record, Earmilk, BBC Radio 6, XLR8R, KCRW, NestHQ, Bandcamp Daily, dublab, and The Seventh Hex. Dome of Doom and Obey organized a record release show that featured a unique line of album themed apparel and opening support from Exile, DJ Nobody, Free The Robots, Yoshi Vintage, Steebee Webee, and Gavlyn. Over 600 tapes have been sold and the UK is about to be treated to a run in September with an in-store performance at Rough Trade's London-based store, a guest mix and interview with Tom Ravenscroft for BBC Radio 6, and an opening set at the historic 100 Club. She will precede the UK run with a vinyl promotion show at Bandcamp's new performance space and record store in Oakland.

Following the release of Fantastic Planet earlier this year, Lealani was booked for an opening set at Coachella 2019, performing on the same stage as Aphex Twin, seprentwithfeet, Virgil Abloh, and Four Tet. The prestigious indie film company Landmark licensed her music to play before and after film screenings and Hurley invited her for a filmed live session, becoming the most watched episode in their "Hurley Recordings" series. UK's The Wire will celebrate her works with an inclusion of the album's lead single, "Floating," on a special 50th anniversary of their Wire Tapper CD compilation series.

The vinyl release of Fantastic Planet will continue Lealani's journey as a rising singer/songwriter and innovative storyteller, carving out her own lane with dedication, originality, and authenticity.
