New music from LANNDS

Rania Woodard a.k.a LANNDS is back with a new captivating single called Wide Awake. Muscicians like LANNDS is a big part of what initiatly inspired this blog into being. Therefore this new release comes a little extra close to the heart. Wide Awake pulls LANNDS a little closer to the electronica scene than previous releases. It seems  a little darker, the bassline is less melodic but LANNDS still circuits around the dreamy, ambient sounds that are so defining for Rania Woodards artistry. All is enclosed by her emotional voice and lyrics that makes you wonder about the signification of being "wide awake in a sleepy world". Somehow Wide Awakes gradual rise and emotional vocals make me think about The XX and mainly their Coexist album. Regardless of LANNDS musical influences it still remains a fact that LANNDS is a force to be reckoned with and Weekly Indie Pop is absolutely captivated.

LANNDS - Wide Awake in a Sleepy World EP

The American indie project called LANNDS recently released a four track EP called Wide Awake in a Sleepy World. The four songs togheter form a beautiful, partly ambient landscape revolving around the guitar and vocals. One of the most interesting things about LANNDS is the lyrics which have several layers and seemingly opens up towards a transcendental reality. Indie Pop Weeklys favourite song is Metanoia which is kind of a closing anthem of the EP. We look forward to hear more from LANNDS in the future.
