LNZNDRF is a new band composed of Scott and Bryan Devendorf (The National), and Ben Lanz (Beirut, The National, Sufjan Stevens).
Recorded in a church in Cincinnati over two-and-a-half days, the eight songs on the album were improvised with a vital spirit harkening back to the reason the members became musicians in the first place. The songs, which were edited from 30-minute jams, evoke the essence of their expansive, largely improvised live shows.
Following two nights of sold-out shows in New York City, they joined us live in The Greene Space at WNYC on March 7, 2016 to perform from their self-titled debut album. Soundcheck‘s John Schaefer hosted.
