About Leerone Over the course of her inspired career, Leerone has triumphantly upended pop conventions while hewing to the great singer-songwriter traditions of her Los Angeles forebears (think Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman, to name a distinguished few). Now, on the heels of her two EPs, Leerone delivers her most vivid, most wide-ranging recording to date, Imaginary Biographies, wherein the LA singer-songwriter employs her formidable composing, performing and arranging skills to further advance a fiercely independent artistic vision.
From Album: Imaginary Biographies 11 original compositions where British pop, classical-tinged balladry, Euro-rock influences and theater sensibilities collide with uniquely impressionistic lyrics. "I think of this batch of songs as little stories and worlds that exist in my mind."
Produced, engineered and mixed by Christopher Fudurich (Jimmy Eat World, Nada Surf, Matthew Sweet, Fishbone)
Care for some whiskey? A tune that asks: "what would it sound like if Leerone struck up the band at a prewar German cabaret?" (hint: goose-stepping rhythms, the sounds of shattering glass, and a piano that throbs like a merciless migraine). Cheers!
To Fill the Void A show tune melody worthy of London's West End and the sound of a distracted America crashing under the weight of its own media obsessions.
