Digital single out now everywhere: smarturl.it/beckstromparachute

Lane Beckstrom is a Chicago based musician who has been an in-demand bass player and a contributor to some of the city's biggest releases of the last 10 years – and now, he's stepping up to center stage as a solo artist for the first time. 

About as well-seasoned of a musician as one could be at his young age, Lane started out as a teenager in the cross-genre live band Kids These Days, with the likes of Vic Mensa and Nico Segal. From there he'd go to play and tour with The JuJu Exchange, Knox Fortune, and Resavoir (with Will Miller from the band Whitney). Beckstrom was also a contributing member of the Chance The Rapper-fronted group, Donnie Trump & The Social Experiment's 'Surf' album, which found him working with an all-star cast including BJ The Chicago Kid, Raury, and Eryn Allen Kane. 

Now debuting as a solo artist, as not only a multi-talented musician (playing guitar, synths, drums, and of course, bass), but also as a singer/songwriter – Lane’s debut single, “Parachute,” is fitting for this new leap of faith he’s making. Boldly carving out his own niche right from the jump, Beckstrom offers up a sunny, kaleidoscopic sound that gracefully floats between bedroom pop, indie rock and alternative R&B. 

Beckstrom is currently finishing up his debut LP for later this year, which was co-produced by Paul Cherry and recorded at his studio The Dungeon in Jefferson Park, Chicago. Stay tuned for more from the pair coming soon on Fresh Selects.

Pre-order Lane Beckstrom 'Looking Out' – releasing Sept. 29th: fsx.lnk.to/looking-out

At one point serving as the working title track to the album – "Daisies" is now batting clean-up on the roll-out towards Chicago multi-talent Lane Beckstrom's upcoming debut LP.  Fittingly, it also wound up being the closer song on the tracklist – a swirling summary of some of the varying styles and moods expressed throughout.

ttwig 'Mindless Meadow' album out November 10th – stream the first three singles and pre-order the album now: fsx.lnk.to/ttwig-mm

"i really wanted to make an epic psych rock song with no drums, reminiscent of some of my influences from the late 60’s. something with lyrics that held wisdom & could serve as a mantra. a gentle reminder to open your eyes & really take in what’s going on rather than distracting ourselves into oblivion. (side note: i always picture mumbo jumbo from banjo kazooie when the “OO, AH” vocals come in at the end hahaha)

Lyrics:

Open the door,
though you may not feel like it
Go and explore,
through the maze, you’ll be guided
Hear what the shore
has to say in the moment
Face to the floor,
you can’t see where you’re going
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Go to the core,
all the way to your kindness
Oh, what a bore,
all the days you were blinded
Now that you’ve grown
from the heat of the moment
Face all the doors,
you can breathe when they’re opened
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Once in a while, you’ll have to make that change
You don’t want it to feel the same now, do ya?

Lyrics:

I wanna fast forward
Open the book and take a look, past the foreword
We only see four letter words
and I wanna go where the animal is unheard

If i could just rewind,
I would wanna go back to the time, when we had time,
just to fly around each other, like a couple butterflies –
Brown eyes, you're the monarch of my mind
I think you're the queen of my thoughts
I’m waking up thinking about what does
a monkey ever really want
I feel like a wolf in the back of the pack
Behind time, never in front
Rat race, I'm last and you're late

Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last

I think I’m picking up your scent
I sent a letter just to feel like
a person not an insect
If Samsa had a Samsung,
he probably would’ve called his mom,
but something in the water said no

We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time to look around?

We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time...?

Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last
