“A debut album soaked in musical richness and emotional weight.” – BEAT
“LANKS manages to thread motifs of growth throughout ‘twentyseven'” – THE 405
.
Releasing his highly anticipated LP twentyseven via THAA Records last month, LANKS joined Ben & Liam in the triple j studio this morning for his first ever Like A Version. Featuring his live band and guest vocalist Eliott, the multi-instrumentalist performed the title track to his debut album and delivered a unique rendition of Hayden James ft. GRAACE ‘Numb’ for the segment.

Currently in the midst of the x-collab series for the twentyseven album, which sees different artists from around the world create a work in response to the album tracks, LANKS is about to embark on his biggest headline tour to date. The 12-date run will hit all capital cities and select regional towns and follows his ‘My Own Mystery’ single run, which sold-out Melbourne and Brisbane earlier this year. Tickets on-sale now.
The twentyseven LP details LANKS struggles as a musician and explores the personal relationships surrounding his career. The title comes from the multi-instrumentalist thoughts that 27 was the milestone for success, given many heroes had passed away at this age and already achieved a lasting legacy. Throughout the album, you can notice the shift from being a solitary and introspective view of life, into an embrace of the people around him.
LANKS has released three EPs, Viet Rose (2016), Banquet (2015) and Thousand Piece Puzzle (2014). His work is self-produced, but since Viet Rose, he has worked with Andrei Eremin (Chet Faker, Hiatus Kaiyote, Oscar Key Sung) on additional production. Following acclaimed singles ‘Bitter Leaf’, ‘Holla’ and ‘Comfortable,’ LANKS joined brand new Melbourne based label, THAA Records in 2017.
A topline writer, vocalist, and producer, his collaborations include Just A Gent, Kilter, Ngaiire, Woodes, Motez and Set Mo. With a distinct, vibrant live set, LANKS has toured with acts such as RÜFÜS, Vera Blue, Glass Animals, Toro y Moi, as well as a guest appearance for both Kilter and The Kite String Tangle.
