Brad Laner (born November 6, 1966, in Los Angeles, California[1]) is an American musician and record producer best known for his work with the shoegaze band Medicine, which he founded and led.
Prior to Medicine, he was involved in the post-punk outfit Savage Republic, which, according to Pitchfork Media, foreshadowed many ideas later explored in the post-rock genre.
[1] In 1995 he started his solo project Electric Company, which was devoted to IDM, glitch, and avant-garde electronics with some elements of ambient and drone.
The same year, he also founded psychedelic supergroup Lusk with the members of Tool and Failure,[1] with whom he released one album, Free Mars.
Laner co-wrote and co-produced the album; several Mercury Rev members were also involved in the recording and producing process.
