Lanes a talented songwriter with an instinct for the pop hook, and his tunes are well stocked with sunniness.
About the Artist
Mike Lanes songwriting and guitar-playing have earned him accolades from Baltimore (his hometown) to New Zealand. Following the demise of Sunday Cannons, a mainstay of the Baltimore/Washington, DC post.punk scene, Lane moved to Minneapolis and dedicated himself to writing the best songs of his life.

Album Description
Mike Lane wants to take you on a journey to the far side of the pop.rock galaxy via the interstellar transmissions emanating from his new recording The Starshine EP. Seven new tunes from the Mike Lane songbook. Expertly crafted pop for the discerning masses yearning to breathe free (and sing along). Fly free and far away from the methodical, the hum-drum, the drab and dreary sounds that have your ears dreaming of hearing something fresh and compelling. Songs that will have you humming their melodies for days, while always rewarding subsequent visits to the Starshine Planet. Twelve string acoustic guitar, electric piano, bass and drums are spiced with cello, organ, trumpet, African percussion, balalaika, hurdy gurdy, electric guitars and Moog synthesizer to create unique and enticing soundscapes for Mike Lanes memorable melodies. The Starshine EP is the fantastic follow.up to Lanes Good Luck with Electricity and also was coproduced by the superteam of Lane and multi.instrumentalist Jay Krasnow. Once again, they rounded up some of Minnesotas finest to contribute their talents to a feast of pop delights. This time members of the Honeydogs, the Cultivators, 3 Minute Hero, Savage Aural Hotbed, Electric Arab Orchestra and Gotterdmmerung heard Lanes songs and said, Were in! Let us be part of this groovy journey to all that is good and right with pop music!
