Stream New Single From Leon Of Athens

Leon of Athens releases Global, the first track from his forthcoming debut UK album, on April 7. Produced by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle and Sebastian) at Dave Fridmann’s Tarbox Road Studios. This indie pop track brings together elements of electro and acoustic tones, as folk, pop and rock come together to paint your world in musical colours. With the album set to follow in June this year, Leon’s vibe is upbeat and euphoric, with a social awareness running throughout.

Global is a mesmerising shift of oceanic energy and sublime pop action. Pumped up, bright tones are infiltrated with soulful vibes and stirring brass, laced with an underlying melancholy. The song documents the life of a character who has been travelling forever, literally and metaphorically. He’s lived through thousands of years, searching for a resting place amongst the mayhem. He stands, his tears turned to ice, waiting for humanity to change: ‘keep me warm, keep me warm, while the cold outside turns my tears into ice, I can’t close my eyes.’

Leon Veremis is originally from Athens in Greece, he’s developed a sound that’s evolved during time spent living in the city’s counter cultural quarter Exarchia. His first material, released in Greece, was inspired by a country in crisis, making headlines there and in the US in the New York Times – within just a few months he was playing to audiences of over 10,000. Inspired by psychedelic experiences, as well as acts like MGMT, Grizzly Bear, M83, Bon Iver, St Vincent, Florence and the Machine, the forthcoming album, also titled Global, heralds a more optimistic style, opening up to themes of love, fantastical dreams and ideas, drawn together by a social documentary style.
