Leisure “Gone Again” (exclusive)

12 Nov 2014 — Andi Wilson

Some of my favorite projects reflect pop in a much darker matter. It probably stems from my love for cult-bands like New Order and Pale Saints, but it's thrilling to see new acts twist classic styles into their own essence. Part of the reason Brooklyn-based Leisure aka Jon Jurow emulates so much is due to his live recording style and habitual use of first outtakes. The naturally raw, shadowy vocals mixed with jangly guitars and constant cymbal crashes create an absolutely lush disposition. 

Give "Gone Again" a spin, or maybe a few, since it's under a two minute cut. The Gone Again EP is out November 25 via Portland, Oregon's Track & Field Records and look out for a full-length LP in fall 2015.
