About Me

"Minneapolis musician Margaret Lane, formerly a solo venture on a vintage piano, has expanded her sound. Her former minimalist approach has developed into more constructed, yet raw and powerful songs. With the addition of other local musicians, Margaret Lane's more recent songs call upon influences from Folk, to Rock, to Ambient/Experimental music. Margaret Lane implements subtle, haunting melodies and abstract, poetic lyrics that defined her earlier work on "Desolate Walk to the Swinging Bridge EP," (1912 Records) which spoke of reverence for nature, death, and love. Dissonant and introspective, dark yet hopeful, Margaret Lane provides listeners with insight and reflection upon the beautiful, the fleeting, but never despaired moments of clarity." -ML/Max Becker I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
