Shady Lane – ‘Starfish’ Split 7″

Next month, on May 27, four independent international labels are joining forces to release a split 7” of two of their favourite artists. The split 7” will feature this track ‘Starfish’ by Shady Lane and ‘Jollica’ by the UK’s Among Brothers. The labels are all run by smart women so we thought it was worth mentioning these internationals as well as our awesome local gal, Julia Wilson at Rice is Nice.

“Kissability in the UK is run by Jen Long aiming to ‘make the music a little more awesome’, Cardinal White in the US run by Jess Abbott of projects Now, Now and Tancred, Japanese label HOU project, run by Haruna Taira, who is also a key promoter for artists such as Toe”.

Shady Lane hasn’t been featured on who the hell before, I think. I’d have to search to be sure so don’t do that incase I’m wrong but they have been talked about across the blogs and with good reason. The have a great sound. It’s Australian, warm, fuzzy and very sweet. Shady Lane is Jordy Lane, who writes the tunes and plays guitar/ sings those soft but often dark lullabies, together with Pete Avard on drums, Sarah Jullienne on synth and Conrad Richters (Richard In Your Mind) on bass.

After signing with Rice Is Nice Records, the debut album Here We Go, Down The Black Hole was released and a live band was formed to translate the sound to the stage. They released their second long player in 2012, Built Guilt, which featured the JJJ fav, ‘Dumb Hope‘.

The split 7″ is out May 27 and you can check out both tracks here or stream Shady Lane below.
