Lane 8 has revealed a new album, Childish.

Announcing the project today, the deep house superstar, whose real name is Daniel Goldstein, paints a picture of an album that more so resembles a time machine. He’s trading in his producer’s chair for a spot on the living room floor, rediscovering the joy of creation sans the pressure of pleasing the masses.

Inspired by his own experiences as a father, Childish, Goldstein says, channels the unrestrained imagination of his kids and his younger self.

“as parents, we’ve always tried to provide the materials and space for them to create, but to then step back and let them be themselves and focus without interfering,” Goldstein writes. “seeing the joy and the confidence that creating in their own way brings them has been one of the most eye-opening parts of parenthood for me.”

Childish is scheduled to release on September 27th via Lane 8’s own label, This Never Happened. Fans can anticipate a collection that captures the whimsy of making music for the sheer love of it, promising a departure from his ethereal style by embracing spontaneity and the simple pleasure of creation.

“when you make a living off your art, people need to like what you make for the whole thing to work,” Goldstein continues. “a pressure to please others starts to creep into the creative process, whether you want it to or not. it was only by watching our kids create that i fully appreciated how much my own process had changed. it hurt to admit it at first, but what followed was a new sense of liberation and motivation, because i knew it didn’t have to be that way.”

“and so, with a determination to explore a more childish side of my creativity, this album slowly came together. i tried to think as little as possible about end results, and instead focus only on finding joy in the moment, and chasing that feeling for as long as i could.”

Childish is Lane 8’s first full-length album since Reviver, which released back in January 2022. In a heartwarming homage to its title, the cover art for this playground of sound features an illustration created by his 7-year-old daughter, Heidi.
