Leprous release new music video for ‘Castaway Angels’

LEPROUS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Castaway Angels, is the brand new single from Norwegian progressive rock band and is their first new music since 2019’s Pitfalls.

The song was recently tracked at Ocean Sound Recordings in Norway and then mixed by Adam Noble [PLACEBO, BIFFY CLYRO, NOTHING BUT THIEVES]. The song’s accompanying music video directed by Tobias Hole Aasgaarden / South Coast Creative.

Speaking about the new single, Einar Solberg from the band says, “this year we’ve all had to readjust our lives, do new things. Missed out on things we were supposed to do, and find new things to do. One day in the beginning of the corona outbreak in Norway I came to TorO‘s house with a song we were supposed to work on together. The problem was that I was already finished with the sketch we were supposed to be working on (which was later on thrown away as it wasn’t that good after all), so we just sat down to try to make something new. Him with the acoustic guitar, and me with my voice.

During a quite short time, we came up with the main structure of what was later to become Castaway Angels. Very basic, very pure and no technology to distract us. Just the melody and the guitar. So once we got in the amazing Ocean Sound Recording near Aalesund, Norway we continued that approach with the full band. We recorded the song together in the studio (when we were not busy sitting in the Jacuzzi being in awe by the view) in one take, after jamming together for one evening. It’s so typical to get obsessed with details, perfectionism and layers. But here we just wanted to play together. Do something pure and simple. I’m very pleased with the result, and can’t wait for everyone to hear how we’ve been spending time together when we were supposed to be on tour.”
