The Lane Brothers: Retro-pop BOPs

March 1, 2024

The Lane Brothers are a rising sibling duo that has earned praise from Shawn Mendes, Boyz II Men, Meghan Trainor, Teddy Swims and many more for its youthful, retro-infused music that took off on TikTok last year. These pop-filled sounds are on full display on the duo’s new self-titled EP, out 2.23 via Big Yellow Dog Music.

The entire EP was written by the Lane Brothers — Grayson and Garrett Lane, and my top recommendation is “Let It Ride.”  These songs are full of clever, cheeky pop culture references like Buc-ee’s-bought outfits on “Drip,” Bentley drives on “Let It Ride” and Miami tans on “Baddie.” The youthful energy beautifully compliments that maturity of the duo’s sonics which fuse Southern R&B with west coast bedroom pop and more creative blends. On the EP’s ballads “NOLA” and “To Be Yours,” the Lane Brothers show off a more intimate side of their songwriting that draw elements from a variety of artists ranging Russ to Harry Styles.
