Mikhail Laxton

Laxton’s first EP, Real, came out in 2021, during the pandemic. It shows the soulful, less twangy side of Laxton’s style, with the exception of "Wasting Our Time" that definitely lands on the country end of the musical spectrum. It ended up being the most successful song of the EP and foreshadowed the country sound of the new album, Laxton’s self-titled, full-length debut, released in August 2023. 

U.K.-based publication, Maverick Country, a UK based international country music magazine gave the albun top marks and called it “flawless,” a “must-have” in any country fan’s collection.
