THE LAGOONS Release New Single CLOSE MY EYES (AND I WONDER) Out Now

As Hype Machine favorites (hit number 1 twice on their last release!), The Lagoons are back with their new, retrofuturistic EP Escape. Combining smooth, mellow 70's yacht rock with jazz and modern synth-pop, The Lagoons are easy to dance to at your next outdoor festival. "Close My Eyes (And I Wonder)"is the first single off Escape, which continues the breakdown of the lead vocals and saxophone will leave you craving more from this brother-duo.

Originally from Los Angeles, California, multi-instrumentalist brothers Joey and Ryan Selan grew up playing saxophone and trumpet in their middle school jazz band. Continuing to play throughout high school, the brothers had a desire to start composing their own pieces. They eventually each picked up different instruments while still in school - Ryan with guitar and Joey with piano - and soon began writing their first music together.

Fast forward to 2015 where the brothers officially formed The Lagoons in Austin, Texas. Over the course of their first year recording and performing together in front of audiences around Austin, the duo began to formulate their sound and build out their live show. One year later, their unique blend of synth-pop, jazz, soul and electronica was first heard on their Summer 2016 single California and was followed up by their Spring 2017 Gems EP.

The Lagoons' newest EP Escape out April 6th.
