Known to many as the frontman of The Devil Wears Prada, Hranica explores radical new artistic terrain with Town of Lake. Created in collaboration with Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recording (200 Stab Wounds, Pain of Truth), the project melds ominous instrumentation and Hranica’s spoken word baritone in songs that bear traces of Nick Cave, Swans, William S. Burroughs, and more. Debut album Lilac drops October 4th via Hranica’s own Peach Bandana Records.
Discussing the new single with New Noise Magazine, Hranica states, "The valley seems to be some sort of imaginative hellscape... Something like a laboratory examination from a time long ago."
Regarding the decision to embark on the Town of Lake project, while still actively touring and recording with The Devil Wears Prada, Hranica says, "If it was a decision, it had to be one of the easiest I’ve ever made! The Devil Wears Prada veers from abstraction; however, as an art I find that entire world (or perhaps lack of a world?) deeply attractive and interesting... As someone that likes to always have the wheels spinning, working on or creating any number of things, Town of Lake is where I landed when another band I had started became inactive. This was the spigot to open."
