(March 20, 2025) – Canadian indie singer-songwriter Cody Lawless released a new track,  “Train To Alaska,” today.  The track is a dreamy pop song about longing for love.

Cody says, “I wrote this song fully a capella, a pure and honest representation of the awkwardness after a breakup. For the mood of crashing out and trying to cover up lingering feelings, ‘Train To Alaska’ represents that for me.”

His new album, Heaven Has a Special Place for You, will be released on April 25, 2025, and was inspired by indie acts like Felly and Pinegrove, plus modern heavy alternative bands. The album focuses on past relationships (romantic and not) and takes the listener through a journey from heartbreak to self-understanding. Amusingly, Lawless himself calls the record a “melancholy indie-alternative record but with a ‘Hey Ya’ Outkast vibe.’”

Watch the self-directed video for “Train To Alaska,” below.

Cody most recently released the singles “Willy Wishbone,” featuring fellow Vancouver artist Elijah Blond, and “She Thinks.”

Previously working under the moniker KNOWN. and releasing his debut rap project Paradise Park at the age of 20, Mission, BC-based songwriter Cody James Henn needed an artistic change. And that change — a result of discovering this “authentic self” and with the admitted help of psychedelics — has resulted in a brilliant transformation. Enter Cody Lawless.

2023’s Sunshine State of a Happy Camper hinted at Cody’s easy-going pop vibes. After the album’s release, Cody toured across Europe, the UK, and North America, supporting frequent collaborator Powfu.

This next chapter of Lawless’s creative evolution finds the artist delving into dreamy indie pop, full of jangly guitars, pop hooks, and plenty of lyrical self-reflection.
