LANY on Almost Dying, ‘Malibu Nights,’ John Mayer, and New Album ‘Soft’

LANY join us on the couch for the first time to discuss their sixth album Soft, a collection which reckons with the big stuff that comes along with being in your late 30s. What does acting one’s age really mean? How do you balance the passion for music and your career, and your personal life and family? How do you stay vulnerable and in touch with your emotions — yes, soft — in a world that can harden you? And, what happens when you stare death in the face, as singer Paul Klein did last year when he got in a Vespa accident riding home from the gym. We dig into this with Paul and Jake Goss, plus touring with John Mayer, being in love (Paul’s girlfriend is called Destiny and there is a song on here called… ‘Destiny’), Jake’s breaking point in the band, and exactly how Paul wound up playing piano in retirement homes.
