Biography
As We Leave
As We Leave, a kaleidoscope of soundscapes and melody, evoking something very familiar and comfortable, yet fresh and new. That happy amalgamation of long friendship, enigmatic talent and an Island country upbringing. Finding reference in anything from Dostoevsky and Tom Waits to Picasso, nothing is too mundane, too old, too ridiculous or sublime to be of inspiration to these friends from the Isle of Wight. You can hear a lot of Gomez, Beach House and the Byrd's in their summer holiday nostalgia.
Situated in the picturesque bay of Sandown, they can often be found trying to avoid the surreal sideshow of normality and unwelcome distraction in order to ‘Have fun, make some music.’ Musically you can hear their love of the La’s, the Beach Boys and Neil Young. Layers of sun-kissed Americana dazzle at the edges of British vulnerability and a cohesive collective experience.
Independent minded and a healthy love of ‘do it yourself’ attitudes, they sit somewhere between west coast freedom, British songwriting history and that Soviet nostalgia indulgence.
