Raener
Raener is Daniel Fox, Will van Boldrik, Zach Bilson, and Daniel Vanchieri. Raener began in 2015 as an experiment in a garage in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles when the group decided to make music with their hands and voices. Having only released a few singles, their debut EP, most of which was recorded in a beach house in Santa Barbara, is set to release on Danger Collective Records in September of 2017. On LA’s influence:
“A lot of what I find beautiful and ugly in the world is on display in this city and that’s part of why I like it here. It’s truly a melting pot, and it’s easy to be inspired by all the different cultures that exist in this city. Whether it’s music or food or art, it’s constantly informing everything we do.”
