Leisure kickstart new musical chapter with double single

This Friday April 25, New Zealand chilled soul-electronic collective Leisure return with their first new music since last July’s collab with Aussie duo Two Another, kickstarting their next musical chapter in pure Leisure style – with a double single drop, of course.

Never a band to do things in halves, Leisure will follow their 2023 album Leisurevision with two slices of new music – Welcome to the Mood and focus single Sundown. In a world preoccupied with instant gratification and overnight success, Leisure is taking the scenic route, and Welcome to the Mood is the place to start.

It’s an introduction to new moods, sounds, and songs in the world of Leisure. The band shares, “It’s an open invitation for everyone to listen, explore, and fly with us as we humbly share our music and love. A thank-you for being a part of this journey and listening.” Then, focus single Sundown is a vivid and passionate love song that captures the urgency and excitement of romantic desire. It’s a celebration of love, spontaneity, and intimate moments shared before the day fades away.

This new era for Leisure, or next sonic adventure as they have described it, sees the band creating music with a genuine intention to unite people – and it’s a journey that has been profoundly life-affirming for all six members.

While the black turtlenecks are back, the green that helped shape 2023’s Leisurevision era has been traded out for a new hue – as the band sends out a multi-sensory invitation for listeners to step even deeper into their world through music, visuals, and connection. You can take a peek into this new Leisure universe in the social media teasers for both Welcome to the Mood and Sundown.
