Alex came to live with Emma and Mark, and the band enlisted Rob Jones (Pictish Trail, Charles Watson) to produce. 'Caterpillar' described by Emma as 'a song for my unborn child'. It's followed by syncopated lullaby 'Good Grief' with it's haunting keyboard hook and icy percussion thawed by Emma's yearning vocals about the quiet strength of generations of women. With nods towards Arthur Russell and Jenny Hval, 'Geese' is a mini symphony of driven electronica inspired by Welsh cultural theorist Raymond Williams' novel People Of The Black Mountains. Young Fathers inflected rhythm can be heard on 'Radel 10' that accompanies the multi-tracked variations of Emma and defiant lyrics that were inspired in part by The Good Immigrant - the landmark anthology of essays on race and immigration by BAME writers.

In a world preoccupied with instant gratification and overnight success, LEISURE is taking the scenic route. This is the third album by the five members - and mates - that came together in 2015 on a spontaneous trip up New Zealand's ragged west coast. LEISURE consistently delivers a steady stream of good vibes to soundtrack your lazy Sundays. The title InchSunsetterInch perfectly mirrors their new musical paradigm keep it LEISURE. They're going the distance, at their own pace, in their own way. Come along for the ride.
The genre-defying Welsh group define their vision with a breath-taking new album, Islet's 'Soft Fascination' is an ecstatic experience in music, an explosion of emotion subsumed in sound. The album is filled with high energy cadence and meditations on collective joy, a balancing act underpinned with glorious melodies and Emma Daman Thomas' evocative vocals that swirl in the symphonic surf. Self-produced, and with instruments recorded live with few overdubs, the effect is direct, it veers from the upfront and immediate to the spacious and challenging.The first half is intentionally fast, intense, almost relentless. The second half is more spacious, as the album unravels and becomes more hazy. There is excitement and fascination and a willingness to show a lack of restraint in realising it, traversing hailstorms, hedgerows, broken promises and poisoned prayers; constantly breathing real life all in. Featuring standout singles the pulsating 'Euphoria', the liberating flow of energy on 'River Body' and the recurring conundrum of choice of 'Hat Person', 'Soft Fascination' is an album of rare beauty.A1.
