    There’s something special about the lyrical content that proves relatable yet poignant and beautiful all at the same time, resonating with listeners through the band’s unique ability to take basic, everyday ideas and turn them into an imaginative work of art.

    Bottling up teenage emotions and expressing it in effervescent electronica and wistful melodies, their self-titled debut is 16 tracks of minimalistic and clean compositions overridden with Paul Klein’s lovestruck lyrics.

    Overall, the album is still an agreeable first effort, although it doesn't really produce anything demanding immediate attention.

    LANY’s ambition is admirable—and this debut will sound great blasted at parties all summer long--but its pleasures end up feeling superficial and ephemeral.

    LANY is certainly listenable and its hour run-time isn’t a total drag (grating voicemail interlude ‘Parents’ notwithstanding). There’s just a deficit of substance in an album that practically seems to be begging for you to feel something.

    It's a boring splodge on the pop landscape, so relentlessly samey and entitled. [Aug 2017, p.106]

    LANY's self-titled album is truly one of a kind. It's lush beats and atmospheric synths are beautifully complemented with lyrics thatLANY's self-titled album is truly one of a kind. It's lush beats and atmospheric synths are beautifully complemented with lyrics that represent so many stages of relationships. It's easy to say that the LA electro-indie band's debut album is one for the ages. Expand

    This band is pretty much a Great Value brand The 1975, but with far less intensity, diversity and emotion. Their lyricism is awfully cringeThis band is pretty much a Great Value brand The 1975, but with far less intensity, diversity and emotion. Their lyricism is awfully cringe worthy and sound like a teenager's diary. Expand
