Search - Lano Places :: Everyone Likes To Be Lonely

"Everyone likes to be lonely", the debut album of Lano Places, astonished the Norwegian Press when it was released in the spring of 2001. Lano Places combined the compositional strength of pop music with the sincerity of rock?n roll. Their chord progression and tonality was compared with newer British bands such as Travis and Coldplay. But reviewers have also recognized a more profound will: an attempt to reach the storytelling qualities of Belle and Sebastian and the inter-textual depth of John Lennon. Anyway. "Everyone Likes To Be Lonely" is, if nothing else, a strong collection of songs. Recorded at home on an 8-track recorder. Lano Places have played together since 1997. And yes: They were the students who wanted to form a band. Some of them had written songs for a long time, though, so this was not a sudden artistic awakening. The band played their songs for those who wanted to listen. They recorded some demos and the radio stations showed interest. Shopping around the demo to the major labels didn?t give any results, but the local label CCCAP fell in love with the demo immediately and released the album. Even though the marketing budget was close to zero, and both the band and the label was new to the game, the album & the band was given a great deal of attention, and within a year three radio singles, a short Norwegian tour and playing at festivals ensured the band national attention and a nomination at the Norwegian Alarm Awards The single "Isolation Street" was one of the most played tunes on Norwegian Radio Petre in 2001, and the song have also been included on two compilation albums. Other radio hits off the album includes "New Years Eve In Acapulco", "Is Itv You" and Crazy Man"
