Black Swan Lane excel at conjuring overcast, moody pieces that shimmer with true beauty in spite of the downbeat tone. The group’s sixth album, A Moment of Happiness, largely occupies a softer, mellower space than previous releases (including one acoustic guitar instrumental), though there’s “heaviness” in abundance in other ways. Vocalist/songwriter Jack Sobel’s deep inflection suggests a solemn seriousness that his lyrics only reinforce; he reaches his apex on the album’s centerpiece track, “Time.”    STOMP AND STAMMER MAGAZINE – Jeff Clark

Black Swan Lane have a dedicated following across America and Europe. I urge you to let this band into your life. Soon they will be like a close friend-you’ll wonder how you ever got by without them.  A Moment of Happiness is everything I’d hoped for and a great deal more. A Moment of Happiness is my album of the year 2014.  NMB UK/US – Kelvin Knight

[Atlanta, Ga] – Wanderland Music Publishing and Black Swan Lane are excited to announce the release of their sixth album “A Moment of Happiness.” Released on September 9, 2014, it is now available everywhere worldwide.

A Moment of Happiness takes the textured sound and true emotion that fans have come to expect from Black Swan Lane – and adds pure adrenalin. The release opens with “DNA”  – it grabs the listener by the hand, challenging them to understand those thoughts they try to hide. It invites a transcendence from  the intimacy of immediate response through realization of eternal consequence and “infinite space.”

Black Swan Lane’s last album The Last Time in Your Light was the chosen by Brett Spaceman of [sic] Magazine, as his number one pick for releases in 2013. In his review of the release, he offered: “this is a great album, probably BSL’s masterpiece, its chief triumph being the stark, chilling contrast between words and music. Sensitivity and insecurity may be in evidence all over the lyric sheet but the arrangements stand proudly, full of confidence. The Last Time In Your Light is the best BSL have ever sounded. I was in shock the very first time I heard it and probably never quite recovered How can songs sound so majestic and be so heartbreaking at the same…”
