Brad Laner (born November 6, 1966, in Los Angeles, California[1]) is an American musician and record producer best known for his work with the shoegaze band Medicine, which he founded and led.

Prior to Medicine, he was involved in the post-punk outfit Savage Republic, which, according to Pitchfork Media, foreshadowed many ideas later explored in the post-rock genre.[2]

Career

[edit]

Laner founded his first band, Debt of Nature, at the age of 15 in 1981. He founded Steaming Coils, an experimental avant-rock band (1984–1989).

Laner joined Savage Republic as a percussionist and a keyboard player, and took part in recording two of its albums.

In 1990 he founded shoegaze-noise pop band called Medicine, promoting a do-it-yourself sound. In 1992 Medicine released its debut album, Shot Forth Self Living. In 1994 the band contributed one track to the soundtrack of the movie The Crow and appeared in the movie itself. The band broke up in 1995, briefly reuniting in 2003 as a duo (with Laner and Shannon Lee).[1]

In 1995 he started his solo project Electric Company, which was devoted to IDM, glitch, and avant-garde electronics with some elements of ambient and drone.[3] As Electric Company, he released ten full-length albums in nine years (before ceasing activity in 2004). The same year, he also founded psychedelic supergroup Lusk with the members of Tool and Failure,[1] with whom he released one album, Free Mars. It received a Grammy Award nomination.

In 1996, he collaborated with Dallas-based musical collective Vas Deferens Organization on the album Transcontinental Conspiracy. Laner co-wrote and co-produced the album; several Mercury Rev members were also involved in the recording and producing process. They collaborated again in 1999, this time under his Electric Company moniker, on the album More Pelvis Wick for the Baloney Boners.

In 2007, Laner released his first album under his own name, Neighbor Singing, with the input of Thom Monahan. He then followed it up in 2010 with his second solo release, Natural Selections.[2]
