Melbourne-based electropop artist Lakelend has today released ‘Fall Down’, a euphoric debut for the solo project of former Storm The Sky guitarist and songwriter Lachlan Avis.
Combining dreamy synths, smooth beats and Lachlan’s heartfelt vocals, the upbeat track tells the decidedly downbeat story of Lachlan’s first love and, by extension, first break up. In a word, ‘Fall Down’ explores a lover’s betrayal. “It creates a nostalgic yet heartbreaking feeling upon listening that was written for those that really need it – including myself,” Lachlan explains. Mixing vulnerability with likeability, and turning pain into something upbeat, Lachlan has created an entirely relatable sound that “people can listen to, drive to and dance to,” Lachlan continues.
Drawing influence from artists such as Lauv, LANY, The 1975 and The Chainsmokers – Lakelend was created after two years working with renowned producers Cam Bluff (Amy Shark, Illy, Hilltop Hoods, Allday), Xavier Dunn (Peking Duk, Graace, Jack River) and the MSquared team Michael Paynter & Michael DeLorenzis (Aloe Blacc, CXLOE). It is his first project since the breakup of alternative rock band Storm The Sky, with whom he toured extensively and released two ARIA Top 50 albums.
Don’t miss the start of something big.
‘Fall Down’ is OUT NOW.
