Det er en egen lomme

new album 22 October 2024

On October 22, The Leif will release their fourth album.

The three musicians continue their exploration of quirky little melodies, short chord progressions, or bass lines that they can settle into for a while, or take on a walk. They also delve into noisy 14/8 riffs, which perhaps drifted in from the distant 70s, along with a bit of pop flirtation and a big smile.
