“Side A” is the latest EP by New Zealand quintet’s LEISURE and marks a new chapter in the band’s journey. It began in a chateau on the outskirts of Paris in 2019, where days of smelly cheese and old wine bled into late-night sessions. LEISURE the carried these recordings back home, honing a fresh collection of their signature smooth bangers. Lyrics explore the nuances of romance and relationships, while their sound pulls from influences as broad as Japanese city pop to Bill Withers.
