Lannds Music For The Future Red Vinyl Edition

Written, recorded, produced and mixed by Rania Woodard and Brian Squillace. After finding their own unique sound across 3 EPs, LANNDS has expanded their lush, electro-pop palette into new territory. Music For The Future is a confident, sweeping feat of enlivened production and intimate, emotional storytelling, both gentler and more mature than the band has ever been. Replete with messages of care and reflection, Woodard describes this album as an "open letter" to herself. At the time they began writing, Woodard and Squillace found themselves navigating a wave of personal changes, including the anticipation of their imminent cross-country move from Jacksonville, Florida to Los Angeles. Balanced on this daunting brink of transformation, the songs across Music For The Future are LANNDS' most courageous yet, and serve as thoughtful reminders to their future selves, and anyone listening, that everything is going to be alright. On album opener "Fortune", Woodard sings, "I'll leave the light on for you", over a bubbling arpeggiated synth, a comforting reassurance that sets the tone for the rest of the album.Optimistic song "Wheels In Motion" has the washed out vocals and wavy guitar lines LANNDS has become well known for over the years, but descends into a fuzzy outro with sputtering, distorted vocals, and spiraling synth, like a TV channel tuned to static. LANNDS is not afraid of the future.
