Modern Leisure is the indie pop/rock project of Denver, Colorado musician Casey Banker. The project is he way to lay down personal stories of his weird twenties, all those insane and equally horrivble lovely experiences that help define us.
Take the absolutely wonderful single “The Secret Art,” the first single taken from his debut album Super Sad Rom-Com, which will be released soon enough by Guilty Pleasure Records.

Todd Terje has released a video for “Leisure Suit Preben” a track off his newly released album It’s Album Time.
The video shows a day in the life of Preben, a singer, dancer and party animal from Carl Berner, Oslo. The video is a very interesting ride, to put it simply.
It was directed by Espen Friberg & Emil Høgset and can be found below.

Leisure’s debut album Plastic Soul is to be released on June 18. Here is the title track, a smooth cut that sounds like a more aloof version of The Strokes writing about a dreamy sensation. If you have liked what you have heard from Leisure so far, you’re bound to love this.
Plastic Soul is going to be self-released by the band, and will be available through spotify and available on iTunes.
“The Invisible Hand” is the latest track from Leisure. It’s going to be on their debut album Plastic Soul, which will finally be released in March. Not a bad track from these guys yet. Take a listen to the smooth jam below.
Leisure’s “Green Light” is a song that continues to sound better and better with every new listen. The music video only adds to my growing fondness of the song. It’s a perfect fit. The song is going to be released as a (300) limited 7″ vinyl via Crash Symbols.
Watch the clip below, which was premiered by yvynyl and No Fear Of Pop. There’s also a mp3 ready for download.

Totally slept on a brand new track from Leisure titled “Green Light”. It’s a gorgeous track soaked with all the best intentions of the (gloriously) sad 80s rock. It’s another song from their debut album Plastic Soul, which may be the surprise of the fall. Don’t sleep on these guys. You’ll regret it.
Download “Green Light” below:

Leisure are a trio from Cambridge, Massachusetts who should have your attention. Hand crafted jams like “Early Morning Skies” & “Follow Me” are perfect for those half drunken moments late at night. In a way these songs are almost understated, which strangely plays as an advantage.
Both songs will be on their debut album, Plastic Soul, which will be out later this month (apparently). Grab both songs free of charge below:
[mp3]: Leisure – Early Morning Skies
[mp3]: Leisure – Follow Me

Polifauna hail from Europe and make psychedelic dream-pop in overwhelmingacts such as Mazzy Star, Slowdive, Low and others.
“Last Days Of Summer” is a track from their upcoming new album. It’s a leisurely paced track that hits you with some nostalgic soaked melodies and emotive vocals that connect together to create an overwhleming dreamy sense that is perfectly executed and made for a lazy Sunday at home during a nice winter day.
If the rest of the album is as strong as “Last Days Of Summer,” this album will be absolutely sublime.

On July 19 Toronto-based experimental electronic rock group Holy Fuck kicked off a two-night run in the city with a show at Music Hall of Williamsburg (with night 2 taking place at Bowery Ballroom). The tour came in support of their new album Congrats, which was released earlier in the year via Innovative Leisure.
Find some shots of Holy Fuck and openers Doomsquad, along with Holy Fuck’s setlist, posted below.

English rock trio Happyness made their live return to New York for the 4Knots Music Festival, marking my first time seeing them since their stop at Pianos during CMJ last fall. The stop came in support of their rather lovely debut album Weird Little Birthday, which got released in the U.S. this year via Bar/None Records, even though it was originally released last year in the UK.
The group were a perfect fit for a bill at 4Knots, with their dreamy, somewhat leisurely chill brand of English rock, fitting in all too well. The group seemed to get even better and more confident since CMJ, which only has me more excited for album number two. Don’t sleep on these guys, their up to plenty good.
Find some more photo from their 4Knots performance posted below.
