About LANKY from
The four musicians in Lanky are already well known and respected in the New Zealand music scene, as well as by New Zealand music fans throughout the world.
Jim Laing (Vocals guitar) recorded three albums with The Jean Paul Sartre Experience for Flying Nun Records. Robert Key (Drums) has also performed in many successful Flying Nun acts through the years, including The Cake Kitchen (who released four albums) and The Expendables, as well as the latest David Kilgour album. Noel Ward (Bass) has appeared on all three of former Clean main man David Kilgour's solo albums, as well as many other projects, including The Strangeloves.
Wait is their first album and was recorded over some time at Arch Hill Studios with Ed Case. The album took a few years to mature as various band members took overseas trips, had children and generally got on with the other important things in life. Nevertheless, despite this apparently relaxed approach, Lanky stayed focussed on the elements that make great music: good songs, good sounds, a good feel.
