elo-artist Landers sound is human and real. It celebrates the imperfection and vulnerability of the artist and the creative process. It is music without time and space, but at the same time it speaks clearly of the world we live in and what it feels like to be human.

about

After only a couple of rehearsals Landers decided to record a live session in a large warehouse known as KAOS in the outskirts of Berlin with their friend Aidan Floatinghome (works with Perlee, Wallis Bird, Hundreds).

Over a short period of 4 days, almost all tracks were recorded live in one room with a limited amount of recording equipment. The experience from the KAOS session helped them to understand new ways of expression, putting emphasis on the importance of a loose, free and shared process. What came out of it was a vulnerable weaving of jazzy, ambient soundscapes with a strong folk backbone from many hours of improvised recordings.

Instead of creating a full album/EP so immediately, the band felt that the session itself is something worth sharing first. It gives them time to not rush things creatively and to also have a chance to invite new listeners to sit beside them through the early development process, just like the way they usually share rough demos with close friends.

Their debut single release Clear Blue Sky (released April 17th 2020) was welcomed with open arms by the press and public. The track was included onto An Taobh Tuathail Vol. 9 playlist (the flagship alternative radio show on RTÉ Irish Radio) curated by the John Peel of Ireland, Cian O’ Ciobhain. Brian Coney from The Thin Air had this to say of Landers first single: ‘Landers are a new-fangled, Berlin-based experimental folk trio with an incredibly promising future ahead of them. Impressionistic and improvisational, ambience meets gossamer structure headon across 10 minutes.’

The second instalment of the session that's to be released is under the title Just Thinking. It features another two tracks from the KAOS session. Each track delves into the feelings one experiences when confronted with the reality of today. Just Thinking and Heart is in the Land (Reprise): addiction and memories.

The title track Just Thinking introduces a new sound, playing as a counterpart to their first release, yet still manages to connect to the overall earthy sound of the session. The second track Heart is in the Land (Reprise) is an ambient soundscape, reminding us of the sound of their first release. Both tracks are completely live and look to transmit a raw and pure energy.

Whilst mixing the tracks over the internet during the pandemic, the band’s perception of the tracks shifted and they decided to add a new element in the form of a saxophone to Just Thinking. Performed by Icelandic jazz musician Sölvi Kolbeinsson, it reinforces the raw experimentation of the band, while also expressing the uncomfortable feeling of the year 2020.
