Leisure
Auckland-based five-piece LEISURE share new single ‘Lonely Nights’ from forthcoming EP ‘Side A’ released 30th October via Nettwerk Records.
Marking the third release of 2020 for the band with previous singles ‘Spark It Up’ and ‘Slipping Away’ also featuring on the EP. Lonely nights bursts with funk guitars and vocals, channeling a vibe of smooth, lounge music that Leisure have characterised as their own.
The new track also comes with accompanying, psychedelic video, showing animated versions of each member enjoying the most relaxed of boat journeys down the River Seine in Pari capturing the laid-back charm of the track.
“The video for Lonely Nights was inspired by our time writing music in Paris last year.” says the band. “We were big fans of (Animator/Director) Jack Brown’s work and when the opportunity came to collaborate we were excited - the tempo and feel of the song is a strutting late-70s rhythm but when Jack went and flipped it to this trippy, floaty boat cruise vibe it was a super cool balance and keeps things leisurely.”
