The Lateness are Jon Abrams and Christopher Gordon. Abrams composes and arranges all of the music; as well, plays guitar. Gordon writes the lyrics and sings. The Lateness draws influence from rock, hip-hop, psych, reggae and numerous other genres. Based in Brooklyn, New York, the songwriting duo creates music from an old apartment building.
The Lateness represents the constant change in American society; unable to focus on one particular style... they're today's answer to tomorrow's question.
