Lakyn today released the video to his new song ‘Sweet Days’ and announced his debut EP, ‘& Pains’, coming September 14.

Once again teaming up with director Sunny Leunig (Courtney Barnett, Paul Kelly) with the addition of director Geoffrey O’Connor, on the video Lakyn says ‘The idea behind the video was to let whoever is watching it imagine their own experiences. Something a bit hazy, something that reminds me of how present moments can feel slow motion once I become aware that I’m in the middle of something special, and that one day I’ll be looking back on blurred memories. That’s the mind struggling to keep up with how much It wants to remember, but time decays everything.’

His earlier singles - the dreamy, “View Looks So Good” (produced by Kuren) and the beat driven “West” (produced by Nic Martin)– debuted to a mountain of praise from the likes of Triple J, The Music and Beat Magazine. The AU Review called him “the country’s most popular artist on the go at the moment”, and Happy wrote that the singles showed “an artist that was at the top of his game”. Electronic superstar Alice Ivy remixed “West” into what Purple Sneakers dubbed a “groove-filled dream”. The tracks have clocked up an impressive 4 million streams across all platforms.

Lakyn will take his ‘& Pains’ Tour to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in September with supports Nardean, Blaq Carrie and Charlie Threads coming along for the ride. Full tour dates below.
