Leprous release new song ‘Distant Bells’

LEPROUS have released a new song!

The new song, titled Distant Bells, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Pitfalls which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking of the new song, bassist Simen Børven says, “the instrumental part of Distant Bells is a compilation of my musical background. Influences from Nordic jazz and symphonic pop infuses the attempt of stretching an extremely simple idea, from almost nothing, to an explosion towards the ending of the song. To me the composition is like an evolution from a single self-replicating cell into a complex sentient being.” Vocalist/keyboardist Einar Solberg adds, “it was both challenging and very refreshing to work on Distant Bells, as the main instrumental idea didn’t come from me. It opened up new doors of creativity within myself and it was very exciting to do the melody and lyrics for this track. It’s a very different LEPROUS track, and it turned out to be one of my personal favourites. Simen has a different musical background than myself, and our contradictions are probably what made this song shine so bright.”

Pitfalls is set for release on October 25th via InsideOut Music.
