The music Lakyn writes is founded on fleeting beautiful moments. Ever since his journey in songwriting began the Auckland born, now Melbourne-based artist has jotted notes in his phone. From snippets of conversation between friends to existential thoughts whilst gazing into the night sky, Lakyn has forever kept phrases that strike a chord.

On his latest record, the musician digs deep into his scattered archive, piecing together a clinic in stripped-back acoustics. “Good Can Come From The Garden'' is a tale of consequence, an ode to letting nature take its course. Here, less is more. Made up of potent guitar licks, summery synths, and his svelte choral ability, this one literally sounds like lying in a meadow under the sun.

Inspired by a realisation that we can all find light in darkness, Lakyn sings heartfeltly about difficult times throughout his life that in the end contributed to feelings of contentment. After a broken ankle derailed his career in skateboarding, Lakyn decided to pick up the guitar while it healed. The rest is history. In the very first words from his mouth, “highlights of the lowlifes” we learn a valuable lesson to always keep our heads up and strive forward, no matter what the circumstances.
