Leisure Birds
Tetrahedron
While much of modern psych seems to be stalled in a bygone era, Minneapolis-based Leisure Birds look squarely at the future. While their synth-driven grooves may evoke hazy memories of Krautrock and 1970s experimentation, their aesthetic shies from the predictable shuffle that consumes current Psychedelic music: Theres no minimal blues here. No Shoegaze. Leisure Birds strip away the trappings that made an old genre tired. As Weed Temple writes: "Leisure Birds brings back the hope in the existence and future of psychedelic rock." Leisure Birds continue their outward trajectory with the release of their third LP, Tetrahedron. Using simple melody, hypnotic rhythm and highly constructed analog synthesis, Tetrahedron constructs a world on the edge of fiction and reality.
