Carousel: A Conversation about Dreams.

Award-winning Australian songwriter Steve Lane announces his latest single, Carousel, produced by ARIA award-winning Darren Seltmann (The Avalanches).

Carousel is off Lane's recently released album Where the River Meets. The album came to life in both Australia and Scotland—in both Steve’s Troubled Waters studio near Bendigo and Beetroot Studio in Ayrshire, Scotland.

“Truth runs like a golden thread through this collection. It makes an appearance in ‘Carousel,’ where Lane sings about the “hidden truth” found in dreams. In this era where so many people put their lives on show, online, the private self and hidden truth feel more precious than ever.”
Josh Meadows, MAINE FM

“Carousel brings such a playful sense of nostalgia, like childhood summer memories hanging out at the pool, waiting in line at the tuck shop for an Orange Explosion Sunnyboy. So, for me, the chorus ‘waiting for you’ is really a nod to that Sunnyboy”
Darren Seltmann, mixer/producer

Renowned for his Americana-tinged guitar pop, Steve is one of Australia’s best-kept song writing secrets. His passion for working in remote Aboriginal communities, helping others tell their stories, has fuelled his desire to tell his own through song. In 2022, he released The Great Imposter, his fourth album and first with label LNFG. The album reached #2 in the UK Indie Breakers Chart, #5 on the Scottish Albums Chart and #8 on the UK Vinyl Albums Chart.

Darren Seltmann (The Avalanches co-founder and co-producer of their acclaimed 2001 debut album Since I Left You) and Steve’s collaboration saw ideas and creative sparks fired back and forth, and the boundaries of the songs pushed and fine-tuned.
