New Leprous Single

2020-12-07 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 39 Comments
Norwegian rockers Leprous released a brand-new single entitled 'Castaway Angels' via InsideOutMusic. The song was recently tracked at Ocean Sound Recordings in Norway and then mixed by Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves).

Einar Solberg / Leprous commented as follows:

"This year we've all had to readjust our lives, do new things. Missed out on things we were supposed to do, and find new things to do. One day in the beginning of the corona outbreak in Norway I came to TorO's house with a song we were supposed to work on together. The problem was that I was already finished with the sketch we were supposed to be working on (which was later on thrown away as it wasn't that good after all), so we just sat down to try to make something new. Him with the acoustic guitar, and me with my voice. During a quite short time, we came up with the main structure of what was later to become “Castaway Angels”. Very basic, very pure and no technology to distract us. Just the melody and the guitar. So once we got in the amazing Ocean Sound Recording near Aalesund, Norway we continued that approach with the full band. We recorded the song together in the studio (when we were not busy sitting in the Jacuzzi being in awe by the view) in one take, after jamming together for one evening. It's so typical to get obsessed with details, perfectionism, and layers. But here we just wanted to play together. Do something pure and simple. I'm very pleased with the result, and can't wait for everyone to hear how we've been spending time together when we were supposed to be on tour."

I really like these guys up until The Congregation, but everything after that doesn't grab me

Talented for sure, but this feels kinda tepid

harmless but still pleasant, hopefully whatever comes next doesn't play the same notes as Pitfalls too strongly

I thought this was good. It's not up there with their best, but I like the general direction they're going in so far.

I love their metal albums, but the last ones are just not for me.. they changed and that's all right, it's simply not music for me anymore

Great ballad that doesn't over stay it's welcome. Hopefully next album is a bit harder though.

Idk, their trajectory is showing that it may be the softest yet. This is quality... it's just taking some time for me to shift my perspective of them. I appreciate the challenge though.

For essentially recording this song in one take after a brief writing session, I'm going to go ahead and say I'm stoked as fuck with anything these dudes will do.

Having now heard it in head phones, the pay off at the end is worth price of entry alone. While not my favorite song of theirs it's pretty dang good.

Leprous have just gone up and up in my rankings with that gorgeous last disc. Live also amazing band and Baard is a b e a s t. Also godlike tier voice range now, this song is absolutely impressive how high he reaches. so improved compared to the first disc is absurd.

How’s that hyper masculinity complex working out for you? Chuck would be proud

I love his falsetto too, but really, idc about range. He has a great tone across his range and THAT'S why it's so nice to listen to his singing

Getting big Anathema vibes from that main acousticriff, especially with the piano.

I dig this a lot
