“I want to prove we’re not a one-trick pony,” Kane Strang says

NEW ZEALAND NATIVE Kane Strang has been around for a bit, having released his debut, A Pebble and a Paper Crane, in 2013. Since then, he’s continued releasing records, some of which are so indie you’d be hard-pressed to find them.
But if you’re a newcomer, the name of Strang ’s game is creating all-consuming music via crunchy chords and fuzzy acoustics. “It’s about finding sounds that enhance rather than distract,” he says. “I like my guitar to sound big and wide, and I record through two amps at once, panning them in the mix.”
