““With twangy guitars and gut-punch melodies charting the emotional coordinates of impulse and desire, Alycia Lang’s Mtn Laurel Recording Co. debut has arrived just in time for the current country moment.” ”
“Exuding vulnerability and instrumental prowess, Alycia Lang is not just another singer- she’s the soft, plush pillow that we want to come home to and lay our heads on every night.
”
“ Complex lyrical themes take centre stage – thanks in no small part to her crystal clear vocal delivery.”
“MakeShift is the beautiful undoing of one identity, in order to make way for something new. It traces the destruction of balance with an eloquent respect to the power and importance not only of chaos, but also of growth and rebuilding. Stream Alycia Lang’s MakeShift... and bask in the glow of intimate renewal.”
“The breezy blend of indie folk and pop finds Lang weaving her irresistible vocals atop an understated but rich sonic landscape making for an immediately infectious listen.”
““Lang is truly the embodiment of the proverbial breath of fresh air”
”
“Her capacious voice fills the track, darting in and out between the finger-picked chords and scratchy feedback, making for a haunting, introspective listen”
““Captures my full attention... Sparse, enchanting, earthly, sincere folk-rock””
Alycia Lang is a Durham-via-Northern California based singer-songwriter, touring multi-instrumentalist and vocalist.
Her first full-length record Speak The Word To Hear The Sound, tells intimate stories of life’s transitions through songs that transcend genre, each one a tiny testament to the power of spontaneity, vulnerability, and letting a song be what it is.
From hard hitting, tongue-in-cheek rock songs about feminine rage, to meandering folk songs about childhood, the songs on the record look at a series of experiences through different perspectives, reminding the listener that life, like art, is ever-changing yet immovable, unpredictable, yet universal — and at best we can write a song about it.
Singles ‘‘Bad Luck Bad Habit’’ and ‘My Kind’ were released to critical acclaim via Mtn Laurel Recording Co earning Alycia the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Folk and prominently featured spots on several editorial playlists.
In 2025 you can find Alycia playing and singing in Samia’s touring band, making vocal cameos all around the indie rock scene, and playing her own music around the country.
