RICE IS NICE are very happy, excited and over moons to announce the signing of SHADY LANE a pop/electronic four piece from Sydney.

You may have caught the now SHADY LANE performing as “Jordy Lane” with a geriatric iMac and a collection of backing tracks, but Jordy is now joined by a full live band in time for the release and tour of his self produced debut “Here We Go, Down The Black Hole” out August 15th.

If you have not heard the wonder that is SHADY LANE you can find it here for now www.myspace.com/jordylanemusic

‘Here We Go, Down The Black Hole’ just got mastered by William Bowden (awesome) and cover artwork done by WE BUY YOUR KIDS.

“Jordy Lane opened the evening, showing off an interesting collection of synth pop tunes. Seeing out the majority of the performance on his own, a female friend who brought some nice vocals and relief joined him briefly, while Lane took over on guitar. Lane’s voice is the standout of his show and he used it to his advantage. A melding of folk, pop and synthesisers, his performance was an indie take on Death Cab For Cutie with a dash of Aphex Twin” - Drum Media

“[Galileo] is smart, heliocentric pop very much of the Postal Service school. The electronic elements are for the most part subdued by sweet descending melodies and organic guitar parts. A great story, a great song.” - Vijay Khurana, JJJ

“Playing keys and guitar backed by his own electronic accompaniments (courtesy of a Mac desktop – quite a unique on-stage sight in a world seemingly ruled by Macbooks), Jordy has a striking voice could be described as a less extravagant Rufus Wainwright. His songs are reminiscent of acts such as The Postal Service and Clue To Kalo, but he often seems to rest in a very natural feeling middle ground between the two – somewhat subdued, but with enough hooks to keep the songs closer to pop territory than electronica.” - Music NSW

‘Here We Go, Down The Black Hole’ is out NOW
