Step into the vibrant world of Leisure's 'Welcome to the Mood,' a stunning vinyl release that showcases the Auckland sextet’s soulful evolution with an organic twist. Set for a 2025 release, this red vinyl edition invites listeners to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of sound, where togetherness and authenticity reign supreme.

Crafted after extensive touring, the band opted for a more live-recording approach on this album. Departing from their previous reliance on drum breaks and loops, they harnessed the raw energy of their performances, breathing life into tracks like "Higher Ground" and "Ready or Not." With collaborators that include string sections and backing vocalists, this iteration of Leisure pushes sonic boundaries while maintaining its heart-a reflection of their growth as a collective.

Thematically, 'Welcome to the Mood' envelops listeners in a sense of tranquility, exploring the highs and lows of the human experience: love, loss, and connection intertwined with threads of hope and purpose. It mirrors the ethos of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, celebrating the beauty of the everyday with a nostalgia-tinged yet futuristic soundscape that makes it a must-have for vinyl collectors.

Celebrate the evolution of Leisure in this exquisite album that promises not only musical enjoyment but also a profound emotional resonance, perfect for anyone seeking a deeper connection through song.
