From one of the Pacific Northwest's most beautiful cities, Portland, comes Candy Cigarettes, the music moniker of the one-man band, producer, vocalist, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Lane Mueller.

​Mueller has received a growing reputation in Portland's competitive DIY scene, opening for established artists like Nurses, Frances Cone, and Minus the Bear. 

​His self-titled debut dropped on Cinco de Mayo of two thousand sixteen. Unforgettable tracks like "Selling Price" and "Molded Ocean" ordain Mueller's LP as one of the best debuts of the year. Also, don't miss the Beach Boys influenced choruses and psychedelic beach pop for "Sweet Love."

Beginning in his mid-teens, Mueller taught himself to play guitar, bass, piano, and drums. His biggest musical influences include Beck, Elliott Smith, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Radiohead.

It is truly hard to believe some of the posts on this site are from 10 years ago! What an interesting journey it has been looking back and listening to some archaic digital sound files, and seeing wayward youth.
Sharing with others through Soundcloud is certainly a creative medium to share with others some of my experience with sounds both locally and abroad,  I hope everyone can still find joy in continually bridging their experience and expression through the common outlet of Sound, despite a rather rough past couple of years. 
My best wishes to all who have been going through a particularly tough set of years (2020 to 2021). I know it has not been particularly easy for anyone, readily adapting to the circumstance of global pandemic, and to those who may have also lost loved ones during this time, my sincere condolences.  Keep smiling, producing and finding joy in creative expression, 
If you would like to collaborate on a project let me know.
