Lawne

First press 2024.
Formed in 2019, Lawne is the result of a meeting of minds between old friends and self confessed music nerds Joe Nicklin and Joe Martin. Their sound draws upon myriad influences with dub, electronics, hip hop, psych, jazz, post-punk and Afrobeat all somehow ingrained within the mix. It's something that evolved during at a time of change for both of them, as Joe Nicklin explains: "The start of this project coincided with me moving onto a canal boat, which was a hugely rewarding time of my life but not without its challenges. You can hear some of my boating vents coming through in the lyrics of Beta Pan and Ame Tova. Another challenge during this time was trying to figure out a way of still playing and recording drums that wasn't going to break the bank.
