Raw folk and earnest vocals describe Leanids well. The Swedish outfit builds intensity on one track and slows things back down on the next (or several tempos in one!). There’s a sense of sincerity on their new record, A Wildly, which few bands are able to convey. Leanids are making music they want to make, and I can tell – I can’t stress enough how far that goes in the listening experience.
A Wildly is mighty fine BBQ and tiki torch music. In fact, I think I’ll do it all this weekend.
A Wildly is available for “name your price” at Bandcamp.
