The title 'Airy' is a perfect signpost indicating the musical and textual path LANIA have chosen for their second album.

This unique easiness, however, is by no means the only topic of the album; not only does its track list represent a both thoughtful and vigorous illustration of the often arduous, exhausting way that leads to this state, it also, in sparkling, brilliant dots of light, illustrates the rare motivating moments that offer sensitive, but energetically pulsating insights into the aspired goal, the heartfelt wish to be buoyantly lifted to unforeseen heights like a feather freed from all restrictions.
In order to lend depth to all these factors, the lyrics of the songs were crafted in a way that enables the listener to approach them from various viewpoints, thus providing wide, open spaces for individual interpretation. This is also reflected in the music: suspense-building elements give genuine meaning to words which, at least at first listening, may seem simple and easy to digest. With great stylistic confidence, memorable tunes characterized by the need to cross borders and venture deep into remote realms, are integrated into a jazzy overall picture and lead the listener away from the safety of the surface. All this results in the development of an extraordinarily thrilling mixture, accessible both to jazz audiences and pop music lovers and reaching from the existential gravity of everyday life to its contrapuntal counterpart, the ethereal lightness of being. Viewed from this angle, LANIA's compositions airily hover above a lyrically dense landscape of self-penned notes and words covering an acoustic image spanning from barely audible, fragile sounds to an energetic sound cloud, passionately performed and lived by five charismatic musicians constituting a classical jazz line-up.
