Landon Conrath makes music that feels like the internal monologue of a twenty-something navigating the quiet drama of everyday life. It is bright, melodic indie-pop that retains a grounded, organic soul, likely a byproduct of his background as a drummer. The songs are built on tight, propulsive rhythms that keep even the most melancholic lyrics moving forward with a sense of purpose.
What sets him apart is the lack of artifice. There is a conversational, almost accidental quality to his vocals that makes every line feel like a text sent to a close friend. He balances shimmering synth textures with jangly, clean electric guitars, creating a sound that is both modern and deeply rooted in the midwest indie tradition of bands like Hippo Campus.
Start with 'Trader Joe's' to hear his ability to turn a mundane location into a site of emotional catharsis. From there, dive into the '2AM' EP to experience the specific, nocturnal energy that defines his most resonant work.
