The 12-track beauty is available as a limited-edition LP (500 copies worldwide) housed in a marvelously designed heavy 350gsm sleeve. The album is also available digitally.

It's the comforting hand on the shoulder, the blanket that keeps warm, the easy Sunday morning breakfast -- caring chillout music to escape from the brouhaha.

WRWTFWW Records announces Shower, the brand-new album by New York born, Los Angeles based ambient/jazz/downtempo musician Danny Scott Lane, following the recently released and very well-received cozy soundscape, Home Decor (WRWTFWW 077LP, 2023). The limited-edition LP is available on biovinyl housed in a heavy 350gsm sleeve featuring an illustration by Gabrielle Rul and design by Jazlyn Fung. The album is also available digitally. Continuing to gently push the boundaries of chill out music, smooth jazz, and comfy electronica, Shower draws inspiration from "the feeling of a steamy shower shared with a stranger after a night on the dance floor," a warm immersive affair for the mind and the body. This latest funky auditory experience once again invites Matt Elliot Gooden's soothing saxophone, and this time also welcomes the vibrant beats of drummer David Ruiz. Organic, discreet in the most relaxing and elegant ways, and just the right amount of sexy -- Lane's new creation offers the finest in audio cocooning. Shower is the first new release by WRWTFWW Records made with biovinyl, a sustainable alternative to traditional vinyl. Biovinyl replaces petroleum in S-PVC by recycling used cooking oil or industrial waste gases, resulting in 100% CO savings in bio-based S-PVC production.

Limited restock. WRWTFWW Records present Home Decor, the sixth full-length album from New York born, Los Angeles based ambient/jazz/downtempo musician Danny Scott Lane. Danny Scott Lane's heartwarming ten-track affair is its very own kind of nostalgia-tinted modern chill out music, a silky cocktail of '80s synths and exotica seduction gently carried by Matt Elliot Gooden's sensuous saxophone. Dare you say ambient smooth jazz? Add hints of Italo, minimalism, and fusion, and you there you have it: Home Decor, a perfect soundtrack for cozy situations, one last drink on the balcony, strolls by the beach, relaxing, thinking back, possibly even gardening and cooking something delicious. Highlights such as "Champagne Spill", "Baby's First Balcony", and "Twin Bed" are not to be missed and should allow for a bit of (well-deserved) breathing in the tumultuous times the world is going through. Home Decor, indeed a rare gem to soothe the mind, body, and soul. Housed in a heavy 350gsm sleeve with an artwork from 3D virtual designer Lucas Barbuzzi.

Wave to Mikey, the fourth album from the Los Angeles-based actor, musician, and photographer Danny Lane is a nocturnal, neon-lit ode to the friendships that shape us. "I made this album for my friend Mikey from back home," Danny explains. "We were pretty much inseparable for a large part of our lives, and our musical and social minds were always in sync in a special way. Then with age, we drifted apart, especially since I moved to Los Angeles. This album is just a little wave hello to an old friend and a kindred spirit." Equal parts avant-garde composition, instrumental city-pop, ambient, Kankyō Ongaku (environmental music), and fourth world music, Wave to Mikey is an impressionistic and reflective cycle of eleven richly detailed memory portraits. Throughout the album, the influence of Jon Hassell, Arthur Russell, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and Yellow Magic Orchestra hangs in the air like late-night mist, adding character but never overshadowing the rhythmic ambience of Danny's musical visions. Wave To Mikey began as a series of sketches on analog synthesizers, guitar, sample and found percussion sketches, initially recorded in Danny's home studio. Once he'd located the vibe, Danny called on his friends E Talley II, Solange collaborator John Carroll Kirby, and Destroyer session musician Joseph Shabason, who respectively added flute, spiritual synth textures and saxophone to the record. For Glossy Mistakes founder Mario G.R., who originally discovered Danny through his photography, Wave To Mikey captures a vivid feeling of melancholy and peace. Wave To Mikey marks Glossy Mistakes' second contemporary album release, following on from Evenings by Japanese composer Metoronori. Mastered by Damian Schwartz.
Born and raised in Staten Island, New York, Danny began playing music with his friends when he was thirteen, before putting that passion on pause to study Fine Arts (Theater) at Rider University in Lawrence Township in pursuit of an acting career. Acting led him to photography, after playing a photographer in a film, he was inspired to pursue the medium. Danny began shooting photos on film for magazines and lifestyle brands, spent a stint living in New York's Chinatown neighborhood, and eventually relocated to Los Angeles in 2017. Four years ago, Danny started recording and releasing music under his own name, leading to the trilogy of releases that preceded Wave To Mikey, How To Empty A Cup (2019), Memory Record (2019), and CAPUT (2021). Over the course of these releases, he's revealed himself to be a sophisticated composer and producer with a studied ear from years spent digging through record bins for ambient, experimental, new age, jazz, and electronica records from around the globe, with a particular emphasis on Japan.
