l.n. baba is the moniker of Edmonton-based chansonnier, Keanan Swan-Azmon. The name is borrowed from a real-estate agent whose signs were ubiquitous on bus benches in Keanan’s hometown of Medicine Hat in the early 2010s. Over time, however, the name has come to shape the project’s songs, which often transport the listener to various spaces and demonstrate a keen eye for the characters that occupy them. The music features intricate guitar melodies, budget synths and drum machines, and l.n.'s distinct baritone, all filtered through a warm, lo-fi lens. In 2019 Edmonton labels Mangled Tapes and Double Lunch Records co-released l.n.’s first album, Rubber Eye. The album - written, performed, and recorded alone in various bedrooms and basements - is an intimate experience. But a close listen reveals plenty of wit and word-play as well. The album received airplay on CJSR, the U of A campus radio station, and topped the station's charts in June of 2019.
