After nearly two years since the release of their self-titled sophomore EP, Strutman Lane are gearing up to release their third EP, Made Up, on Friday. In December, the local eight-piece band will take their show on the road with performances in D.C., Philadelphia, and Boston. Since forming as a funk-pop band in late 2019, Strutman Lane have evolved in sound and genre. At least when it comes to making studio recordings, the band has moved from what drummer Henry Godfrey describes as a “jammier” process toward a “more ruthless” editing and mixing style. “We still jam live and we still love doing that, but the focus is shifting more toward the storytelling of the songs,” Godfrey says. Strutman Lane returned to the studio last November, and spent the year crafting Made Up.
