“Exuding vulnerability and instrumental prowess, Alycia Lang is not just another singer- she’s the soft, plush pillow that we want to come home to and lay our heads on every night.
”
“ Complex lyrical themes take centre stage – thanks in no small part to her crystal clear vocal delivery.”
“The breezy blend of indie folk and pop finds Lang weaving her irresistible vocals atop an understated but rich sonic landscape making for an immediately infectious listen.”
““Lang is truly the embodiment of the proverbial breath of fresh air”
”
“Her capacious voice fills the track, darting in and out between the finger-picked chords and scratchy feedback, making for a haunting, introspective listen”
““Captures my full attention... Sparse, enchanting, earthly, sincere folk-rock””
“MakeShift is the beautiful undoing of one identity, in order to make way for something new. It traces the destruction of balance with an eloquent respect to the power and importance not only of chaos, but also of growth and rebuilding. Stream Alycia Lang’s MakeShift... and bask in the glow of intimate renewal.”
Alycia Lang is a Durham-via-Northern California based singer-songwriter, touring multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. In 2024 you can find Alycia playing and singing in Samia’s touring band, making vocal cameos all around the indie rock scene, and playing her own music around the country.
Her first full-length record (slated for release in 2024), tells intimate stories of life’s transitions through songs that transcend genre, each one a tiny testament to the power of spontaneity, vulnerability, and letting a song be what it is.
From hard hitting, tongue-in-cheek rock songs about feminine rage, to meandering folk songs about childhood, the songs on the record look at a series of universal experiences through different perspectives, reminding the listener that life, like art, is ever-changing yet immovable, unpredictable, yet universal — and at best we can write a song about it.
