art collective based inNew York City .Lansing-Dreiden was founded in
Miami, Florida . Their body of work includes music,multimedia artwork (in the form of drawings,collage s, sculpture and video), and theliterary journal "Death Notice". Rather than calling themselves a band, they prefer to be categorized as "a company that sees no distinction between art and commerce." ("Seattle Weekly", Feb. 5, 2005) The collective's first full-length record, "The Incomplete Triangle ", was self-released in 2003. "Spin Magazine " described it as "dreamy space rock... with a psychedelic metal twist." This was followed by an EP in 2004, "A Sectioned Beam ". The EP was praised by "Time Out New York " as "an airtight example of textbook pop perfection." Both titles were reissued byKemado Records in 2004.Lansing-Dreiden's most recent full length was "
The Dividing Island ", released in 2006. A music video was released for the single "A Line You Can Cross," though the band performing in the video was not Lansing-Dreiden. 2006 also saw the release of "D.I. By D.D.", a remix album of "The Dividing Island" produced by Dazzle D.While their music itself has been met with a fairly warm reception, the group has been criticized in the musical press for self-consciously cultivating an air of obscurity. Lansing-Dreiden have responded, in turn, that they're shy.Fact|date=March 2007
