LANY

Lany, often stylized as LANY, is an American pop rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2014. The group consists of Paul Klein (lead vocals), Les Priest (guitar and keyboards), and Jake Goss (drums). Their music blends synth-pop with indie and alternative rock influences, creating a polished, emotionally direct sound. Since its formation, LANY has released multiple EPs and studio albums and built an international following through touring and online releases.

Beyond the band, lany also appears as a personal name in various cultures. In onomastics, it can be found as a surname or given name in different regions, though it remains relatively uncommon and varies in spelling and pronunciation from place to place. The term does not have a single, universal meaning outside these uses; its interpretation is typically tied to the context in which it occurs, most prominently the musical act or an individual bearing the name.

The lowercase rendering “lany” is simply a typographic form of the same term used in everyday text. Because it covers both a contemporary band identity and diverse onomastic uses, there is no single, authoritative definition that applies in all contexts. In cultural discussions, references to lany are usually anchored by specifying whether the referent is the band or a personal name.
