PURE ABSTRACTION ANTI ABSOLUTION

While I never intended to use my voice in music, I re-discovered a crate of Portuguese Fado records that I bought in Lisbon seven years ago, providing the impetus to create a collection of beats.

Evoking elements of my ambient tape loop past as well as a return to playing piano, 'The Lisbon Tape' is a collection of dusty loops and internal monologues that may bring to mind any of the following disparate references:

Fado, 2046, Arthur Jafa, Grouper, Loren Connors, Willy Basinski, Blue Poles, Ka, The Slim Reaper, Dean + Inga, Steve Prefontaine, Recent Earl, Terrence Malick, Attitude Era etc.

Sydney/Eora’s kaleidoscopic 1960’s psych-rock revivalist project, Misty Lanes is re-emerging from the haze to announce their signing with Third Eye Stimuli Records and to bring us their first new single in over three years — the fuzzed-out, dreamy laid back number, ‘And Here We Are’. DIY composer and producer, Steven W Schouten launched Misty Lanes in 2017 with the release of his self-titled debut album and from there gained a loyal following as the live band became known for their exciting wall of sound. Misty Lanes’ is defined by reverberating guitars, punchy drums, dreamy organ melodies and delicate vocals that embody the soul of cult-classic late 60s bands like The 13th Floor Elevators and The Kinks.
Displaying a new level in Misty Lanes’ song-writing and production, ‘And Here We Are’ kicks off with a cruisy groove and catchy guitar riff. The verse bops along with jangly guitar and jazzy organ behind Steven Schouten’s smooth vocal melody, before we fall into the chorus where Schouten sings lovingly: “I’ll lay around with you and I hope that you’d do the same”. While the song clearly fits in the psych/garage world, the down tempo, spacious arrangement and authentic production reminiscent of bands such as Donna Blue and Sugar Candy Mountain adds a level of taste, setting Misty Lanes apart from other revivalist bands.
Misty Lanes’ new single, ‘And Here We Are’ is out Aug 30th via Third Eye Stimuli Records
