Dany Laj and the Looks – Ten Easy Pieces – New LP

"Dany Laj writes the kind of tunes full of yearning: for love, for commitment, for purpose, for getting the hell out of town. Fortunately he wraps this angst in the kind of tuneful confections that make fast friends on one spin." - Big Takeover Magazine

Ten Easy Pieces is Dany Laj and the Looks third full-length album. The past two years has seen Laj spending quite a bit of time with his 4 track recorder writing a big collection of songs, re-working old ones, and even trying his hand at covering songs by Canadian artists he loves. "I think I had about 38 songs that I presented to our manager Eric with all kinds of stylings, I remember finally saying ‘okay, that's the record’ and felt bad ‘cause I had bombarded his hard drive with like a million different mixes and so on. In comes Ten Easy Pieces, his most focused effort yet. After demoing and having more than three records worth of material, Laj eventually got together with his lifelong mate/longtime bassist Jeanette Dowling and drummer Dusty Campbell and started recording the latest Looks effort, which is their most focused effort to date.

Dany Laj and the Looks are:

Dany Laj (guitar, vocals, keys),
Jeanette Dowling (bass, vocals, percussion),

Greg Mihajic (harmonica on You & Me, keys on Smoke in the Sun),

Ten Easy Pieces is produced, recorded, and mixed by Dany Laj at La La Pop Shoppe in Sudbury, ON.
