PACKAGING - PACKAGING - SHARE IT MUSIC
A new musical force has emerged with the introduction of Packaging, the captivating new duo formed by Daniel Lyon (Spirit Award) and Daniel “Connor” Birch (Flaural). Their debut single, “Running Through the Airport,” is accompanied by its official music video exclusively premiered by American Songwriter.
Packaging fuses psychedelic textures, krautrock rhythms, and electronic grandeur, all infused with a tuneful accessibility and a touch of self-awareness. Though Lyon and Birch live in different states and cities – Seattle and Denver, respectively – their long-standing creative connection, cultivated since their bands first toured together in 2016, has culminated in this exciting new project.
"Running Through the Airport," the first single from their upcoming debut album, encapsulates the band's thematic exploration of travel through both physical and metaphysical worlds. The new track is a pulse-pounding, five-minute journey that contrasts the "routine malaise" of daily life with the restless energy of a flow state. The music video visually complements the song's dynamic energy and lyrical depth with stunning shots of downtown Seattle and the Puget Sound.
Packaging’s self-titled debut album also features contributions from notable musicians, including Luke Temple (Here We Go Magic), Ash Reiter (Sugar Candy Mountain), James Barone (Beach House), and Andy Rauworth (Gauntlet Hair). The album promises an emotionally resonant collection of songs that delve into themes of disconnection, ennui, and restless movement.
