Minneapolis shoegaze band Lana Leone continue the first steps of their path with Starshine, a glimmering new single shaped by the longing for closeness when distance separates one from what they love most.
The track begins in a dazed, dreamlike state, with Alana Christen’s gentle vocals drifting through swirling layers of guitar and reverb. As the song progresses, its dreamlike calm gradually begins to stir. The guitars gather force, the atmosphere thickens and the initial weightlessness develops into a churning climax.
Lana Leone allow yearning to determine the song’s shape, turning isolation into an enveloping rush of sound.
