A wild ride through chewy bubblegum pop, sweeping synthetic orchestrations, and mutant club beats, the album slides ever closer to the fully-realized pop sensibility onlywinked at with their debut album Person (2020) and subsequent releases. Recorded primarily at Schenke’s Studio Windows in Brooklyn, NY, The Leather Lemon was cultivated from a fertile creativeperiod between spring 2020 and summer 2021, which also yielded 2021’s acclaimed \u003ci\u003eThe Reason For My Love\u003c\/i\u003e EP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigging into mystery, romance, and sex appeal, the album centers its sound within a Bermuda Triangle of dance music, electronic composition, and experimental rock. Members Jonathan Schenke, Bob Jones, and Jonny Campolo play within pop parameters, building upon free-form collaboration to create a fluorescent groove machine that harnesses the energy of their frenetic live shows. Singer Veronica Torres explores her softer side, expanding her vocal repertoire from spoken word and jagged growls to cherubic and sensuous psalms. Sax virtuoso Benjamin Jaffe’s chiseled experimental tone is heard in an extended solo of true romance in “Tears in the Rain,” a somber surrealist duet penned by Torres and Andrew Savage, singer\/guitarist of Parquet Courts.It is a reckoning record for the times; an album of psychedelic resurfacing, real-time response to world events, and soft, sympathetic magic. This is a collection of songs shaped by five individuals who embrace music-making as a way to center themselves in times of uncertainty; it’s resilience and imagination given shape. \u003ci\u003eThe Leather Lemon\u003c\/i\u003e is a true sweet-and-sour listening experience, an albumas bright and clear as it is fractured and fun.
