Dead Leaf Echo - Lemonheart

Article by KevW

The Sound Of Confusion favourites Dead Leaf Echo have been working on a new album with Jorge Elbrecht (Violens, Tamaryn). We have no confirmed release date for the LP as yet, but the press release hints that's just about (if not already) complete, so at a guess we can expect it later this year or early next. In the meantime, fans of the band can get there teeth into excellent first cut 'Lemonheart' which will be released on September 15th on limited edition clear 7" vinyl and download. If this acts as a signpost as to what we can expect on the full record, then we're in for a real treat.

You know how songs often build until they're soaring high above your heads? Well, 'Lemonheart' doesn't bother with the whole build part of that formula, unless you count about five seconds of guitar before the drums kick in. As soon as they do this song is up and flying, not in terms of it being particularly high-octane, it's simply grandiose enough to reach those heights in an instant, never coming back to earth until it reaches its end. Dripping with echo and chiming guitars, this is like dreampop on some pretty strong MDMA; a gorgeous, skyscraping number that seems not of this world. This is why Dead Leaf Echo are one of our favourites.
