"I feel there’s something around me / I tried to hide but it found me..."
Boy Willows is the musical moniker of Landon Fleischman if you fall into his sound you will find out right away that it is an inviting place to be. Often times awash in a soft bit of melancholia while there might be darkness near by you will always finds glimmers oh cascades of light upward. Landon's beautifully translucent vocal aesthetic is content to make you want to dream of better times even if you might feel crushed by life. His brand of experimental bedroom pop feels like an embrace and at times like these we all need to be held. His latest "Quick Stop By", ethereal, even surreal feels like a step through the looking glass. The ambient glitter floating in and out and the almost scratchy cinematic tones leaves an impression that feels a bit like something you think you might of dreamt.
I have featured Boy Willows often here at American Pancake and each time I wonder if his creativity is a natural ability like a gifted athlete or if he has to work hard at it. I guess brilliant gems still need to be polished. When not making music under his Boy Willows moniker, Landon works in lighting and has toured with Wallows, Alan Walker, and Mustard. “Quick Stop By” is the first track from a new EP slated for April 2022, following his debut EP ‘BANGS' (Nettwerk Records).

Boy Willows (Landon Fleischman) has immersed himself in the world of experimental bedroom pop - layering ethereal, dreamy production around his soft yet distinctive voice. On his new single “Quick Stop By” you get a feel for his gentle and soft abilities, capturing an authentic notion of accepting things that have played out. In the song, Landon explores the narrative of “Two people lying to each other about how long they think the relationship will last [but then] really calls things as they are in the most neutral and accepting way, it was just a quick stop by.” The slower pace of this track helps to connect with an underlying message of realizing how things actually are - like a picture becoming clearer over time.
