Indiana-based blues rock duo Left Lane Cruiser has streamed a new from their forthcoming album, Claw Machine Wizard. The band’s new full-length will be out May 19th, with it marking their return to a two-piece. The band’s founder Freddy J Evans IV, who is joined by drummer Pete Dio, commented on the change: “Left Lane Cruiser was born as a two-piece and our attack and style of blues just works better as a duo.”
Evans also commented on the band’s sound on the new record, saying: “There’s still a lot of signature LLC gut-bucket blues on the new record, but we’re constantly trying to expand the sound. I’ve always kept our foundation in blues and classic rock, but after a decade of making albums, eventually new flavours creep in. On the road we listen to a lot of James Brown, Funkadellic, Parliament, Charles Bradley and other soulful artists. Also been jammin’ MF Doom’s Special Herbs, which are his instrumental tracks. Those kinds of sounds had a big influence on this record. I think in general this record is a huge departure from the previous LLC albums. We kinda refer to it as our soul record. There’s a lot of different flavours on this one.”
The band also have some select tour dates lined up for the year.
