After a working relationship forged between local hero Lontalius and acclaimed producer Jeff Kleinman (Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs) was nearly thwarted by the arrival of ye olde pandemic, the pair took to exchanging files on the interweb, slowly but surely piecing together the songs that would become Life On The Edge Of You. Adding R&B and hip-hop tinges to the songs Lontalius was penning, the result is a fresh and exciting levelling up. With cover art by Henrietta Harris, who also created the memorable cover for Lontalius' debut LP, fans are in for a treat with this one. - Flying Out



Produced by Jeff Kleinman (Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs), Life on the Edge of You finds Lontalius aka Eddie Johnston elevating his intimate, confessional indie-folk songwriting across a new musical landscape. The pair had worked briefly in Los Angeles in 2017, then over the pandemic took to trading files from opposite ends of the word, building tracks in a surprisingly fruitful collaboration melding alt-indie with flavors of hip-hop and R&B. 

Raised in Wellington, New Zealand, Lontalius embraced making music since getting his first guitar at the age of eight, and spent his preteen years honing his craft in his bedroom with all the resources of the internet at his disposal. After uploading intimate covers of pop songs from an eclectic range of artists, from Crowded House to Beyoncé to Yung Lean, to fanfare on YouTube and Soundcloud, Johnston released his debut LP, I’ll Forget 17, in 2016 on Partisan Records.

His subsequent albums, 2019’s All I Have and 2020’s Someone Will Be Here For You, have followed in its acclaimed footsteps, attracting over 110 million streams and over 650K monthly listeners on Spotify, alongside collaborations with Grammy Award winning producer Om’Mas Keith (Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu) and Jim Fairchild (Grandaddy, Modest Mouse).
