FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-

July 25th marks the date for local band Lander to release the highly anticipated debut album orange chrome sky at the Doug Fir Lounge PDX- a starting block for a northwest tour.

PORTLAND, OR Lander was formed with the idea to create a unique sound; epic-folk. In a Portland basement in December, the band self-produced a mock album that set the stage for the upcoming studio experience.

For the past 5 months the Lander studio album has been crafted under the production of Rob Stroup at 8 Ball Studio, PDX. The 11 track debut infuses folk compositions with timeless rock n’ roll melody. Sentimental, sincere, even romantic, the song lyrics and mood’s stir up an emotional history that is the tragedy of the common: love and heartbreak, glory and ruin, pride and humility. Imagine campfires, long dirt roads and the epic story that is life… you have begun to imagine the sound of Lander’s orange chrome sky.

-we could be in the atmosphere.
