American pop-rock band LANY, consisting of Paul Jason Klein (vocals/guitar) and Jake Clifford Goss (drums), has announced their fifth studio album “i really really hope so” will be released on September 29, 2023.
The album is their first body of work in two yeas since 2021 album “gg bb xx”.
Also, it is the first album as the duo after the original member Charles Leslie Priest left the band.
The album comprises 13-track, produced by Mike Crossey and LANY.
From the album, the band released the first single called “Love At First Fight” on June 7, 2023.
Paul Jason Klein co-wrote the song with longtime collaborators American singer-songwriter Sasha Alex Sloan and King Henry. Produced by Mike Crossey.
The accompanying music video was directed by Paul Klein and Antony Muse.
Paul Jason Klein said of the song, “In a relationship, you learn a lot about a person from the first argument. It’s an indicator of the relationship’s trajectory and whether it’s going to work out or not.”- Paul Jason Klein shared about the album on social media, “I wrote the first song for this album on december 18, 2021. that was 526 days ago. god that's so much time. 5 + 2 + 6 = 13 which is the best number so obviously that's the number of songs on the new album. my hands are shaking rn. I'm so wound up. Nothing in the world means more to me than this music and u. I want u to like it so bad. jake, myself, and our entire team have poured so much love and intentionality and detail into every part of this next chapter. I woke up this morning in a different pair of underwear than the ones I went to sleep in. They were on backwards. the box they came in was ripped in half on my floor. I have no recollection of this taking place. I'm fucking exhausted. but I'm so in love with my band and so head over heels for this life.”

He continued, “They say there are 5 basic needs to survive as a human being: air, water, food, shelter, and sleep. apparently, u can live like 40 days without food, 3 hours to 3 weeks without shelter depending on the conditions, just over 11 consecutive days without sleep, 3 days without water, and about 4 minutes without air. But how many seconds can someone go without hope? I'd say 0. It's what keeps every human moving, and it's definitely the only reason I'm still here. It's interesting... u never really even think about hope until it's the only thing you have left to hold onto. 13 songs about life and letdowns and everything eventually falling apart - even the STARS. But i made sure u could dance to half of 'em.”
He added, “Will I ever feel a true sense of accomplishment from my artistic efforts and endeavors? Will I ever find someone worthy of my trust? someone who's a vault for the pearls of my heart and a fortress for my soul's deepest insecurities and fears? Will I ever wake up again with an innocence and an excitement for the future instead of always wanting to go back to sleep? Will I finally be able to celebrate where I'm at without criticizing why I'm not further? Will I find total forgiveness and release those who have betrayed me and hurt me the most - including myself? Will I eventually see the fulfillment of my dreams in this lifetime? And when I close my eyes for the last time on this earth, will I have a smile across my heart? And will anyone remember me the next day? There's really no way to know, but I really really hope so.” - source : Apple Music
