Brighton's vibrant music scene is set to ignite once again as duo The Leaning makes a triumphant return with their new EP, 'The Orange Night.' The dynamic pairing of vocalist and songwriter Sam Jordan and guitarist Ez Stone has already garnered widespread acclaim for their genre-defying blend of psych-noise, surf pop, and alternative rock. Now, with 'The Orange Night,' they aim to push the boundaries even further, promising listeners an immersive sonic experience like no other.
Renowned for their electrifying live performances, The Leaning has captivated audiences across Brighton and London with a rotating musical collective that keeps each show fresh and unpredictable. Their ability to seamlessly weave together diverse musical influences has earned them a devoted following and sold-out headline shows. With 'The Orange Night,' they invite fans to embark on a journey through rich, atmospheric soundscapes infused with electronic elements, folk nuances, and soulful undertones.
Produced by the esteemed Jimmy Day, whose credits include collaborations with industry heavyweights like Massive Attack and Rósín Murphy, 'The Orange Night' is a testament to The Leaning's artistic evolution. Set against the backdrop of Portslade Harbour, where the EP was conceived and recorded, the songs reflect the ebb and flow of life along the coast, from the promise of summer's warmth to the impending arrival of winter's chill.
In a statement about the EP, The Leaning shares: "Each track on 'The Orange Night' is a snapshot of our experiences living by the sea, where every sunset paints the sky in hues of orange and gold. We wanted to capture the essence of that fleeting beauty and channel it into our music, blending elements of longing, introspection, and raw emotion."
Having already shared stages with notable acts such as The Last Dinner Party and Gaz Coombs, The Leaning has solidified their status as one of Brighton's most promising talents. Their upcoming appearance at The Great Escape and recent tour of the Isle of Man further underscores their growing influence within the indie music scene.
As anticipation mounts for the release of 'The Orange Night,' The Leaning continues to defy expectations and carve out their own distinct musical identity. With its mesmerising melodies and thought-provoking lyricism, the EP promises to be a standout addition to their already impressive repertoire, cementing their place as ones to watch.
