LANY Dishes On Success, First Impressions And Who They Think Are 'Good Girls'

Indie-pop band LANY graced Singapore for an intimate, sold-out show earlier this month, and we caught up with the trendsetting trio before they proved they’re a live force to be reckoned with.

It’s not usual for an artist to sell out their first outing here – unless they’re in the leagues of Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran – but three-piece American band LANY did just that. Granted it wasn’t a stadium-scale show, but the feat alone is an attest to the band’s appeal.

For 90 minutes, LANY enthralled the sizeable audience with their palatable brand of synth-heavy alt-rock sound with songs like ‘The Breakup’ and ‘Flowers on the Floor’ – both cuts from their latest self-titled debut album. But a true sign of long-term loyalty from their legion of supporters was the fervent response to the band’s music even from their infant years – early EP tracks like ‘Made in Hollywood’ and ‘Like You Lots’ drew equally loud cheers. Diehard fans even showered the charming musicians with flowers – a staple at most LANY gigs, and an ode to the band’s affiliation for floral aesthetics in their brand.

With a fanbase ever-growing attributed by strong word-of-mouth and catchy indie-pop tunes, LANY looks set to be the breakout act of 2017, and follow the achievements of similar indie triumphs like The 1975, Chvrches and Bastille to become a staple on both Spotify playlists and future concert listings here.

Before LANY rocked the stage with their presence, we had the privilege to sit down with the laidback lads to chat about everything from their friendship with Halsey to their impressions upon meeting each other for the first time. We even quizzed them on their knowledge of all things flowers, acronyms and ‘good girls’ – to hilarious outcomes.
