Following the release of its
debut full-length ‘music for outcasts’ (L’Echiquier / Décor / Weiner)
and the wrapping up of a national tour that saw the band play everything
from a DIY July 4 party in a parking garage to a record store, a church
to an outdoor bar stage, Leland Sundries has premiered its new video
for “Studebaker” at Impose Mag.
The band will perform tomorrow
at Green River Festival in western Massachusetts, the same day as Dawes,
Shovels & Rope, and Shakey Graves. Mercury Lounge will host a
headlining show on Monday on a bill with Ron Gallo.
Pop Matters is streaming the entire album, comparing it to Pavement and calling it “folk-rock awesomeness… memorable."
Spotlights have also run in
American Songwriter, Paste, Flavorpill, Pure Volume, UNCUT, MOJO, and
spins at WFUV, KCRW, and KEXP. In a Q&A, CMJ praised its “fine
character building.”
Cincinnati.com called Leland Sundries “folk rock from a weird, loose-limbed, garage-rock point of view.”
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
called ‘music for outcasts’ “literate, tuneful character sketches, songs
rooted not just in his own hard-living lifestyle but also in the people
he met on the road... establishing the band as worthy successors to
such durable acts as Son Volt, Clem Snide and Deer Tick.”
