Lanky: Undiscovered Pop Phenom

"A head full of many unique ideas of grandiose poetry. He could probably make a book just for his writings in the future. Once in Darby Jones, but now finally doing his own thing, Lanky is the real deal. Full of substance. About how life goes so fast even though we may progress quite far since our childhoods. About how we couldn't appreciate things before that we can appreciate now. I really felt that one, cause I definitely appreciate struggling artists trying to make it more than I did when I was like eight years old. About where love may lead us and about the letting go of past loves. The album questions taking those risks when you can and working hard to achieve your goals. The album is realistic, yet it leaves a warm feeling of a strong maturity for the real world and appreciation for how people go through life.



The 10th track is an instrumental of one of the previous tracks, Careless I believe."

Spell It Out

"Lanky's "Inner Onwriter" is a driving burst of rock energy. The opener "Aeroplanes" explodes with chiming guitars and a propulsive beat, "I wanna forget like there's no need to remember, I wanna lose track of the years & the things I found." "Firecracker" pops & sizzles with a restless energy and an airy falsetto. As a vocalist, Lanky has an expressive delivery complimented by the melodic sense of his rock & roll such as on "Sympathy," "The shouting just cuts through the wall; the words they just spell it all out." The CD closes with an unaccredited 10th track, an instrumental with cello and strumming electric guitar. "Inner Onwriter" is an excellent debut that contains two-thirds rockers and one-third slower tunes. It's an impressive beginning. Enjoy!"
