Normal Music

Boundary-skirting sounds from the mischievous mainstay of funk, boogie and jazz. Feted by crate-diggers from Brunswick to Dalston. New jams on heavy wax from the shape-shifting multi-instrumentalist who’s had more nom de plumes than you’ve had hot breakfasts. 
  
Laneous has been called ‘your favourite musician’s musician’ and that’s not an exaggeration. With his epic forays into the outer regions of neo-soul, he’s paved the way for a generation of artists from Jordan Rakei to Hiatus Kaiyote, whose singer calls him a ‘genius.’ As well as being a multi-instrumental powerhouse capable of blending genres like smoothies, he’s also a killer visual artist. Giles Peterson fucks with this; now it’s your turn.
