The new pop-folk album from the British band is set to be the soundtrack to spring. From the same undulating and transgressive neo-folk wave as Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, and Bon Iver, THE LEISURE SOCIETY finally releases their fourth album, The Fine Art Of Hanging On. During the writing period, Nick Hemming, the band's singer-songwriter, was close to a dear friend battling cancer. He allowed his friend to participate in the project by sharing ideas and incorporating his feedback on the demos. The two forged a very close bond. Throughout the album, recurring themes such as romantic and friendly relationships are explored. More generally, it explicitly addresses the problems of life and death. Initially, it wasn't an intentional album. And yet the harmony it exudes is omnipresent. With this fourth album, THE LEISURE SOCIETY probably entrusts us with their best music in terms of cohesion. Once again, they haven't neglected the album cover, which young Owen Davey, a long-time collaborator, designed for them. Like the cover art, the eleven tracks of "The Fine Art Of Hanging On" immerse us weightlessly in the incredible universe of THE LEISURE SOCIETY.
