Landings

Landings formed in Los Angeles with Austin Pledger, Corey Harper, Jonathon Beck, and Matt Milligan. Their debut single 'Eleven' got attention for its lyrics and melodies, which felt both haunting and direct.

They followed with an album called 'Waves' that mixed indie-folk with electronic touches and alternative rock. Other songs like 'Everybody Wants' and 'I Lied' kept that blend going, airy harmonies over steady, textured arrangements.

Some listeners questioned whether their writing had enough depth or relied too much on electronic effects.

They stayed a quartet through those years, with Pledger handling lead vocals. Their sound never turned toward heavy aggression or pure pop; it held somewhere in between, built on layered vocals and atmospheric production.
