Chris Lanzon’s new single “Angel Litany,” featuring Harmony from Girlpool, is like catching up with an old friend over coffee. The dialogue dips occasionally into nostalgic reminiscing about days gone by, but it springs back with reports of each other’s latest obsessions. Familiarity and the unfamiliar are what make this song really work.

From the first strummed guitar, “Angel Litany” takes you in for a warm, acoustic embrace, setting the tone for the introspective and skyward-gazing track that Lanzon delivers with perfection. The chorus sets itself to sail with just the right amount of sunny energy and a thoughtful tug – classic examples of what makes indie pop great. Adding Harmony to the mix was sheer genius. That girl brings in such an authentic, heartfelt vibe, which is lifting the song up.

Their voices meld seamlessly, creating rich, comforting harmonies that are as soothing as a quilt on a chilly evening. Chris describes “Angel Litany” as a ‘poignant reflection on unconditional love‘. This idyllic mood shifts towards a gritty edge before crescendoing into a powerful finale. Lanzon’s lyrics shine with clarity, making personal tales feel universally relatable, as if he’s reading from a page of your own diary. With this release, Chris Lanzon solidifies a place for himself as one of pop’s most poignant storytellers and a voice of his generation, shining a light on music’s ability to bind humanity through shared experience. An absolute must-listen for all fans of indie music.
