Pretty Lights Music veteran Michal Menert recently announced the formation of a staggering new live band. Dubbed Michal Menert & The Pretty Fantastics, the six-piece group will accompany Menert on a new self-titled album, due out at the end of September, before heading out on the road for an extensive fall tour!

L4LM is proud to premiere the first track from this brand new band, “Shanghai”. It’s rich in synthesizers, with some smooth vocals that carry the song to perfection. By adding live keys, bass, drums, horns, and guitar, Menert continues to push the boundaries of electronic music to new heights.

Listen to “Shanghai” below:
