LANY drops “thru these tears”

7/17/2018

LANY, the trio from Los Angeles, has basically been on tour for three years straight. When I saw them at the end of 2016, they were playing to a room of 500ish people. Last winter they sold out five MASSIVE shows in the Philippines. They also opened for John Mayer on several stops on his latest tour. 

Paul Jason Klein, the band's (newly single) front man, is every almost-edgy white girl's biggest celebrity crush right now. And ever since he cut off his rarely-washed hair (see the evolution of Paul's hair in 2018 below), he's even hotter. It has been clear new music was on the way. 

And today, the wait is over. "Thru These Tears" dropped on Spotify this morning. 

As far as LANY goes, this song is pretty average. They have a very distinct sound, and it doesn't seem like they will be straying from that anytime soon. 

The lyrics are pretty obviously about Klein's recent break-up with international pop star Dua Lipa. In my opinion, the couple were adorable, but something just didn't work out, I guess. Anyway, the song is about a bad breakup, so I'm assuming it's about her. 

All in all, it's a good song, but it's no ILYSB or Super Far (or any song on their debut LP, for that matter). 

Keep an eye out for the accompanying video coming soon.
