Lane 8 Unveils Album Details for Upcoming Release, Childish, Slated for September 27 via This Never Happened.
This year, Lane 8 has continued to enchant audiences with his captivating melodic creations. He has performed breathtaking sets at various festivals, including the This Never Happened Summer Gatherings, and shared mesmerizing soundscapes through his seasonal mixtape series. Nevertheless, besides the track “Remission” featuring Kasablanca, his release schedule has been relatively sparse. That is about to change on September 27, when he unveils his highly anticipated album, Childish, under the This Never Happened label.
In an insightful post on Instagram, Lane 8 elaborated on the inspiration driving Childish. The album draws from the joy and confidence he’s observed in his children as they explored their creativity over the years. This reflection took him back to his childhood, where a keyboard and a drum machine—his two most cherished possessions—played pivotal roles in shaping his mental well-being, pride, and self-worth. These elements were crucial in forming the artist he is today.
“Reflecting on this made me realize how much my artistic approach has evolved over time,” Lane 8 commented. “Earning a living through art brings a certain expectation that can create pressure to please others, which inevitably influences the creative process.” This epiphany ignited a sense of liberation and energy within him, fueled the creativity behind the tracks on Childish.
With a commitment to delve into a more playful side of my creativity, this album gradually came to life. I aimed to think less about outcomes, instead concentrating on finding joy in each moment and pursuing that feeling as long as I could.
