New Zealand's most-awaited St. Jerome's Laneway Festival has just announced its latest lineup changes for 2020. With Rüfüs Du Sol and Fontaines D.C. sadly no longer able to perform, three of international music's top-notch performers Marlon Williams, Pyschedelic Porn Crumpets and Holly Herndon will now be joining 2020's stellar pack.
Marlon Williams
New Zealand's one and only Marlon Williams will be closing out the gorgeous Ranger Stage (FKA Fountain Stage) with his peerless catalogue of songs about love lost and won. His second record 'Make Way For Love' is a bona-fide classic, belonging to the canon of break-up records that include Beck's 'Sea Change' and Bon Iver's 'For Emma, Forever Ago'.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
The brilliant, Perth-based Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have shredded their way into the hearts of psych-rock fans around the globe since their formation four years ago. Drawing comparisons to Laneway faves King Gizz and Tame Impala, their third album 'And Now For The Watchamacallit?' looks set to catapult them into the national consciousness. 'Keen For Kick-Ons?' is the band's question. Our answer is a resounding "yes."
Holly Herndon
Since her arrival in 2012, Holly Herndon has successfully mined the edges of electronic and Avant Garde pop and emerged with a dynamic and disruptive canon of her own. Praised by Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME and The Wire as well as tour buddies Radiohead, Herndon's three albums experiment with live voice processing systems, ASMR and A.I. over a musical palette that encompasses everything from synths to Sacred Harp stylings.
