Info for You're Missing The Best Part

You’re Missing The Best Part is the debut album from Chris Lanzon. After years of writing from a truthful place but often cloaking that truth in metaphors or generalisations, the artist sought a new approach—one rooted in unfiltered honesty. This record was an intentional move toward saying exactly what needed to be said, even when it felt messy or uncomfortable. In doing so, the artist discovered that the more personal the songs became, the more space there was for genuine connection.

Collaboration was central to the process. Close friends helped shape the record not only sonically, but emotionally. They illuminated blindspots, pushed for deeper exploration, and guided the project to places it could never have reached alone. Throughout, the commitment to honesty remained: recording live takes, embracing imperfections and playfulness, and resisting the temptation to overproduce or polish.

Ultimately, You’re Missing The Best Part stands as a reminder of what it means to be human in a world that can often feel detached. It highlights the value of community and friendship—of laughing with loved ones, sharing meals, moving fluidly between lighthearted conversation and deeper reflection. The record captures that rush and fear of vulnerability, followed by the relief and warmth of being truly seen and understood.

Chris Lanzon is a quietly powerful songwriter and storyteller, known for his emotionally rich blend of pop, folk, and ambient indie. With three EPs and millions of streams behind him, Lanzon has grown a dedicated global following. His previous releases have earned support from BBC Radio 1, triple j, Rolling Stone and iHeartRadio among others.

Chris's music captures the warmth and melancholy of a sun-faded, well-loved journal, blending indie-pop and folk with melodies that linger like the last light of day.

It is a youthfulness, tempered with the deep wisdom of a mind that’s seen the best and the worst of the world, yet still believes in the magic of a simple moment.

Chris has emerged as a beacon for those who find solace in the understated and the sincere, each song a conversation—a campfire confession that is profoundly personal and universally resonant. With three EPs released between 2020-2023, Chris has seen acclaim from fans and industry alike, with an increasing following on social media and recognition from outlets such as NME, BBC Radio 1, and Triple J.

His 2024 EP, "Angel Litany," (released Sept 12th) explores the coexistence of love and pain.

Collaborating with artists like Harmony (formerly of Girlpool), Deb Never, and Blake Rose–each track reflects a moment of serendipitous connection born from first-time collaborations. The project embodies Chris's determination to show up for the people he loves, even through the pain of distance and emotional barriers that often accompany deep human connections.

To listen to Chris Lanzon is to find comfort in the delicate, the understated, and the imperfect—to feel seen and understood.
