The band's name, Lebanon Hanover, apparently comes from two neighbouring towns (Lebanon and Hanover) in New Hampshire, United States.[3]

Style

Lebanon Hanover's music has been compared to 1980s Gothic rock/post-punk acts such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure and Bauhaus. The band has a minimal, dark sound.[4] Their songs have a signature light synth sound, deep bass and melancholic lyrics.[5]

William Maybelline is responsible for the rhythm, synthesizer and bass, which add to the music like an ordered frame, while contributing with more chaotic fragments. As a common conceptual idea, it simply describes simple production, which is based on the desire to generate an organic sound as possible.[6]
