Memory Lane :: Old Lane Returns With ‘More Like You’

Posted on January 21, 2021 | Leave a comment

After releasing their lead single, the lively and bouncy Sanctuary, Old Lane is back at it for 2021 with their follow-up, the somber and reflective More like you. This time around, the crew is slowing things down and dedicating their thoughtful lyrics to the loving memory of friends Sara Klee and Weston Tschannen. The song is a nice contrast piece to their lead single, and is hopefully an indicator of the range and emotional depth on the horizon whenever Old Lane makes plans to drop a full length. Until that time arrives, I will be content with enjoying this run of stellar singles… as for you, support if you can, and share this song around regardless!

New Noise :: Old Lane Introduces Themselves With ‘Sanctuary’

Posted on December 8, 2020 | Leave a comment

Like most music scenes, or scenes thriving with creative spirits, band lineups tend to shift on a near daily basis, and many bands step to the plate to see who can survive the game. Recently, a group of talented San Martians found themselves combining forces in the downturn that 2020 has been, and despite the bleakness of the era they found one another, the noise that they are creating is joyful and inspiring. Old Lane recently released Sanctuary, an apt name for their lead single considering the times, and the song is a rollercoaster ride of introspection and observation wrapped up nice and neatly in bluegrass packaging. The song bookends on a high, energetic note, while the midsection halves the time signature and propels listeners into a brief, dreamlike state. If this song is an indication of the musical quality to come, then strap in, because Old Lane seems hell-bent on taking us far and wide. Dig the song, share it around, and throw the band a buck if you can afford to.
