“There’s something eerily familiar and yet, ephemeral about Lanman’s music… I feel like I’ve stumbled across a stone unturned. I can’t tell if he is a cult phenomenon in the making or a pop phenomenon in the making – either way, this is someone you’ll want to keep an eye on.” -Ron Larson on Review of Asphalt Roads

“Categorizing Lanman’s music would be a bit of a challenge. Listening to songs from either albums remind me of all different kinds of musicians. At some points it fits in the veins of people like Gavin Degraw and The Honorary Title while at others the songs also have a very gothic feel that I would put more in line with The Smiths and Heavens. These albums could be for fans of about any genre of music.” -Heather Finley of King Banana Portland, Oregon

“Kinda Coldplay meets The Script. Smash!” – Kip Rocksellout.com’s Smash or Trash
