Time spent stateside informed an early penchant for Americana, and the prevalence of lo-fi and DIY culture during his formative years still bleed into his own writing and production. Backed by his band of trusted droogs The Byrnouts, Rainn&#8217;s crappy-go-lucky interpretation of the world around him is equal parts earnest and irreverent &#8211; a balance of youthful ennui and an impulse to make light of it. <br \/>Following previous support from 6 Music&#8217;s Steve Lamacq and shows with The Beths, Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard and Francis Lung, Rainn is now building up towards the release of his debut album &#8216;New In Town&#8217; in late 2022, with recent single Never Ending Story being the first track from it and Big (released on 20th July) being the second.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/futureproofpromotions.com\">Futureproof PR <\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Ahh this song\u2019s lyrics make me laugh\u2026. \u201cCharlie\u2019s made it big on the TV set and I\u2019m still cleaning toilets trying not to regret\u2026\u201d This song is typical of Rain\u2019s sense of humour and backed with summery surfer vibe this calls for some serious airplay.
