Born out of a powerful friendship, musicians Michael Brock and Forever (June Moon) collaborated and shot film in Pahoa, Hawaii last fall, co-writing songs as they travelled. Over the coming weeks, the two shared bills in New York and Toronto and Cafe Lanai took form.

Split in two, “Lanai” narrates from light to dark, with a naked synth breakdown as the divide. Precise percussive hits cut through layers of warm analog streams, the mood alters, and vocals fade away. The single works as Cafe Lanai’s hors d’oeuvre to a larger body of work, yet to be announced. 

Today, the Vancouver duo reveal themselves in an honest fashion.
