2018 release. Jordie Lane is always getting caught in a downpour. "A quick storm just hit while I was getting my coffee," he says with an unquenchable, good-natured humor. The much loved Australian indie roots artist, who recently moved from Melbourne to LA to Nashville, is malleable and resilient despite the torrent of changes that have come his way. Glassellland combines the desert Tropicalia influences of his homeland with the modern Southwestern folk of his new home. Produced by Clare Reynolds (Timbaland, Haley Reinhart, Greyson Chance), the two created Glassellland in teardown transitory studios, which they built and deconstructed in varying spaces in Northeast Los Angeles. "With the studio doubling as a kitchen, and no door to the bedroom, there was really no escaping the music." On top of building the studio space, they also engineered and played every sound on the album, making the endeavor highly personal. "Clare comes from an operatic background and was a trained opera singer in Australia, so she comes from a totally different school of thought to me songwriting-wise and production-wise," says Jordie. "She just knew when a song was ready to record and knew when we got the take. That's something I could never work out on my own." From a melding of genres, influences, and backgrounds, Glassellland is the product of an outsider immersing himself in unfamiliar territory, and loving every moment of it. Jordie Lane has created a record seeped in mystery, but the kind that happily divulges it's secret after a few listens. "That's what this record's really about," says Jordie. "Tying reality and fantasy together."
