Lana Leone combines heavy distorted guitars and ethereal vocals to create shoegaze soundscapes reminiscent of dark starry nights. Based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lana Leone started as the bedroom project of singer/guitarist Alana Christen, later adding lead guitarist Josh Frenier, drummer Brandon Tang, and bassist Brandon Burmeister. Lana Leone now plays regularly in the Twin Cities music scene and across the Midwest, favoring DIY venues and basements. In 2023, Lana Leone put out their debut EP titled Meadowlark, featuring tracks “Ashes” and “70 Days”. At the end of 2024, they released “Hide and Seek”, the first single off their upcoming EP. Spirea. “Hide and Seek” pairs Christen’s soft, airy vocals against the band’s distorted wall of sound, capturing the duality of love and loss. Exploring themes of yearning, loss of innocence, and uncertainty, Spirea is the attempt to process the highs and lows of change. Spirea is set to release on January 17, 2025.
