Love and the experience of it has been at the heart of LANY’s music since their very conception. Barely a year on from the release of their phenomenal self-titled debut album, however, came Malibu Nights, perhaps their most heart-wrenching yet. Written in the 50 days following frontman Paul Klein’s breakup with his then-girlfriend, this is the band at their most vulnerable, following the ups and downs felt in the wake of that heartbreak. Naturally, a world tour was soon to follow, taking LANY’s raw, magnetic pop right onto our doorsteps with a show at Leeds Beckett’s Student Union in March. 

LANY have proven again and again that they are an intrinsically thoughtful band in regard to the artistic elements of their music and their brand – the crescent moon on Malibu Nights‘ artwork is how the moon was expected to look on 5th October, the album’s release date. With such miniscule details perfected, it is safe to assume that the Los Angeles natives will not fail to deliver a night that is aesthetically and musically beautiful. 

Supported by fellow Los Angeles band, lovelytheband, the night is set to be grounded in dreamy indie-pop and a feel-good vibe – both band’s music provides the perfect soundtrack for a day spent lazing in the summer sun.

LANY’s return to Leeds is certainly not one you will want to miss – their confessional yet relatable lyrics set to a classic backdrop of infectious synth-pop is one you can enjoy regardless of whether or not you are familiar with the band. It creates the kind of atmosphere where you are free to dance the night away and that isn’t one you can turn down easily.
