Hoferlanz

Hoferlanz is the project of multi-instrumentalist Ben Lanz, who’s played in The National, Beirut, Sufjan Stevens’ band, Gabriel & the Hounds and more. He’s releasing an album this week and celebrating with a release show on Wednesday (9/2) at Union Pool in Brooklyn. The National’s Scott Devendorf and Helado Negro will be DJing. Tickets are on sale now.

So far two singles are out from the album. “Karla’s Retreat” the kind of orchestral indie rock you might expect from someone with a resume like Ben, but “Visitaa” brings a harder, distorted edge to that sound. Check both out below.
