Leprous is now streaming their orchestral, almost radio-friendly new single "Running Low". It's really good and a very interesting, and very welcome change to the band's sound.
Leprous will release their new album Aphelion on August 27. The record was recorded at Ghost Ward Studios in Sweden, Ocean Sound Recordings in Norway and Cederberg Studios in Norway; was mixed by Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves); and was mastered by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, Placebo, The Gaslight Anthem). Much like its predecessor, Aphelion was given artwork designed by Elena Sigida based on photography by Øystein Aspelund.
"The initial idea for 'Running Low' started when I had decided to force myself to write a sketch on my phone on a way up to a mountain top called Himingen in Telemark, Norway," said said vocalist and keyboardist Einar Solberg. "It felt completely pointless while I was doing it, but when I came back, I was able to go further with it and actually structure it into a proper composition. Then we met up in Cederberg Studios together with the band to take it even further. This song is a proof that even the smallest sparks can turn into a big flame. Despite being a band who always wants to explore new territories, I believe 'Running Low' can easily unite both our old and new fan base."
