San Francisco-based Nyles Lannon in-studio, 9-20-07

Nyles Lannon's music is one of those sonic concoctions that routinely inspires entirely new descriptors. "Folktronica" and "lap-top pop" are just a couple of the labels that have been offered in attempts at defining his art, which might be said to combine the hushed, autumnal tones of Elliott Smith and Simon & Garfunkel with the 21st century-leaning blips and beeps of Grandaddy and Sparklehorse. Throw in some latter-era Beatles and you might have something close to Lannon's stew, the latest manifestation of which is Pressure, recently released by the Portland-based Badman Recording Co. Touring with a full band playing his one-man bedroom creations, Lannon stopped by our studios for a performance and interview.
