about

This album takes place when you find it, and hopefully everyday after.
- Podge Lane

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Building on from his debut album, Outer Monologues, Lane expands his own sound further, exploring country stylings and stories in unconventional manners to create “Common Country Misconceptions”. Showcasing his emphatic turn of phrase alongside quintessential country instrumentation, Lane reflects on many moments in his life with earnest growth.

Where Outer Monologues gave a glimpse into one bad night in the life of the author, it ended with the promise of things getting better. Now we have Common Country Misconceptions, and Lane asks ‘what comes after happily ever after’? As a life long fan of country music, Lane listened to the great tales of heroes overcoming evil, winning the loves of their lives and riding off into the sunset. *Roll credits*

Lane explores the common themes of country music and challenges the idea of the ‘happy ending’. Once we find happiness in our lives, we can put so much pressure on ourselves to never feel down again. Lane reminds us in Common Country Misconceptions, that even when your dreams do come true that you are still human, and that’s actually a pretty good thing.

With his recent singles off of Common Country Misconceptions garnering attention from IMRO, Hot Press, American Songwriter Magazine, and GoldenPlec, to name a few, Lane’s vivid storytelling is clearly at play throughout the album, with Hot Press commenting ‘it essentially flips the silent country masculine singer trope and turns it on its head.’
