Landon Conrath, the Minneapolis-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, has been making waves in the music scene since his debut album, Nothing Matters Anyway. After nearly a year of touring with artists like Yam Haus, Windser, and Ber, Landon is gearing up to release his upcoming EP, Songs of a Past Life, scheduled for release on April 26th, 2024.
This new EP promises to be a compelling addition to Landon’s discography, featuring heavy-hitting rock tracks such as “Debbie Downer” and “Overrated,” while still incorporating songs like “Hollywood” and “Pavement” that stay true to Landon’s indie-pop roots. Comprising six new tracks, the project was produced by Landon himself along with guitarist Caleb Dee, except for “Debbie Downer,” which was produced by Bradley Hale.
Landon kicked off 2024 with a 26-date US headline tour, bringing his music to fans across the country. As he embarks on this musical journey, Landon reflects on the themes of his new EP, stating, “The EP is titled ‘Songs of a Past Life,’ and simply put, it’s a collection of songs that feel like they’ve been transported here from a not-so-distant past.” He shares that these songs, written almost four years ago, explore issues from a time when he was younger, less experienced, and in more romantic distress.
Despite being happily married now, Landon acknowledges the nostalgic disconnect between his current life and the themes of heartbreak in these songs. He believes the project will feel like home to many of his fans who have been listening consistently for the last three to four years, capturing the essence of his earlier projects with similar production and writing styles. Landon expresses his hope that “Songs of a Past Life” holds significance for his fans, just as it does for him. With over 60 million streams on his catalog, Landon continues to build a dedicated fanbase, making his mark in the music industry.
