Landon Metz releases his debut album on Sensitive Records 001
In the wake of the birth of his son and the passing of his father, Landon Metz has returned to a powerful mode of communication he learned early in life - music. Six Days At The Orange House is a deeply personal piece, a sonic catalog of a week Metz spent in Copenhagen during the autumn of 2022. Throughout the work, Metz explores similar themes in music as an extension of his painting and installation practice.
Six Days At The Orange House juxtaposes pain and longing with hope and gratitude. The overall enveloping texture of its sound speaks to Metz’s ability to immerse the listener in a distinctly human, poetic narrative. The album is both immensely personal and universal - a rendering of place with story through tonal sequences, memories, echos, emotions.
Landon Metz (American, b. 1985) is a transdisciplinary, conceptual artist living and working in New York City. Throughout his career thus far, he has garnered critical attention for his paintings in dye on canvas, advancing traditions of American abstraction. Strategies of display are central to Metz’s visual language, which often incorporates the vocabulary of sculpture and installation. As a result, Metz’s site-responsive paintings – they frequently abut one another, reach into or wrap around corners – have the capacity to expand and contract space.
