BIO
A queer, disabled, operatically trained soprano gone rogue, Lana McMullen isn’t here for the fluffy stuff. Described as an artist “who stands above a breadth and depth of artistic substance that is hard to ignore” (mxdwn), Lana writes ethereal, hypnotizing melodic lines that sift through some of our murkier, more mercurial collective tropes—pain, death, fear, and isolation—and center on finding joy and self-knowing through it all.
Lana’s music has been praised as a "lyrical and musical masterpiece" (No Depression) that "blend[s] the introspection of 10,000 Maniacs with the epic, anthemic quality of early Arcade Fire” (Artist Home). They’re currently working on their next solo record, which explores folk traditions through dissonance and vocal layering. They’ve shared stages with Chris Pureka, Sera Cahoone, SHEL, Vikesh Kapoor, and many others.
REVIEW
“...it becomes clear that Traveling Light, although only 6 tracks long, is a musical and lyrical masterpiece. For those who find music to be the ultimate escape, the place to find synergy or healing for life’s myriad situations, Lana McMullen’s Traveling Light belongs on the list of go-to albums. And hopefully this is just the first of many albums from McMullen.”
