BLACK SWAN LANE - Dead Souls Collide             (Wanderland/Eden) Guitarist/singer Jack Sobel’s Atlanta group came into their own several LPs ago, and it’s been all audacious knockouts since. BSL release annual albums that are epic in scope yet full of beautiful post-punk power, and DSC surpasses even 2022’s Blind or 2021’s Hide in View. Their kinship with ’80s Incredibles The Chameleons goes beyond two Chams playing on older BSL LPs, or Sobel drumming for offshoot The Sun and the Moon at their only,...

   black swan lane - blind             (Wanderland/Eden) Atlanta guitarist/singer/leader Jack Sobel has metamorphosized from a talented songwriter into something of a simmering solo genius. This is his/their 10th LP the public has way too little awareness of, and recent efforts have proved particularly remarkable excursions into his deep end of the moody/broody-yet-beautiful post-punk pool. BSL’s bearings don’t change, as they spin another decidedly gray but not gloomy, glistening-guitar-centric, atmospheric...

© rené dissel Helloooo! Apologies for my absence. This is my first day off in a year and our new album is currently being manufactured. I have been secluded in a music studio for a year recording and mixing the 10th BLACK SWAN LANE album, Blind. After the ninth album, I remember telling a good friend that I can’t top the last one and I’m completely out of ideas after 9 BSL albums, 3 Messenger albums and countless other projects that I have been associated with. And, what is further insane is that our 5th album, The Last Time In Your Light, was intended to be the very end of it all....

Album number 9 by BLACK SWAN LANE. Eighteen months of non stop work and listening to nothing other than the recordings, edits and mixes. The finality of the completed art and release is hard to describe. It is hard to let it go. Are the levels mixed correctly? Did I cut the right songs off the album and keep the right ones? Listening to the final songs at bedtime every night for months and making notes on what needs to change and what needs to be added... Did I make them better or worse? Did I keep in mind the average listener or simply do what I wanted on the album? I'm pretty sure a lot of songwriters...

  [Atlanta, Ga] - Wanderland Music Publishing and Black Swan Lane are excited to announce the release of their new digital single, Scream For Me. On April 26th, the release will be available everywhere in the world.  Scream For Me was written over a period of two years. The track was intended to be on our November, 2019 full length album, Vita Eterna, but we felt the mastered track needed some more work and we are happy we held it back. It is now ready for the world. The song is seductive, melancholic, powerful and atypical but has all the elements of a Black Swan Lane song you would...

Habitually Early... If you know me, I am never late and I'm never on time. I am typically very early to any engagement. I hate waiting, I'm impatient and I hate to be kept waiting for no reason. Surprise!
