LANNDS craft an entire auditory landscape with their latest release “HITEM”. The track is trippy and varied — attention brought to each slight adjustment and introduction of new sound. The Florida-based duo of Rania Woodard and Brian Squillance create all the accompanying art and visuals for their work as well. Having a deep understanding of what is going on musically, you can see that influence take shape is the video for “HITEM”.
“This is a song about meeting someone and trying to be in the present moment even when you know things won’t last, ” Rania explained of the work. “It’s about accepting things as they are with someone you feel like you’ve known before and feeling some sense of nostalgia in that. In some way, it’s also about listening to your intuition and letting things go with the flow and if that means letting go for the time being then that’s what needs to happen.”
“HITEM” is the first release of the band’s newly announced expanded EP – lotus delux due February 11th via Run For Cover.
