From Lyle Lanigan's website: "I am a basement dwelling, home recording, musician. I have been doing this since 2001. Most of the songs I write are acoustic. These songs are written for myself in order to motivate me. I have found that there is a meaninglessness to our daily working lives and all of the required tasks that go along with it. "Lyle Lanigan" is the persona I give to my creative side that survives outside of my structured social life. I also feel that there are a lot of ideas, both political and philosophical, that are widely ignored in music these days.
I have always felt compelled to address these ideas in my music, balanced with a corrupt sense of humor."
