LEYA

The group works with and against the grain of tradition, mining intensity through alternate tunings, strange harmonies, and dream state operatic-like vocals. The resultant visceral experience underlies beauty but spans many imperfect worlds.

LEYA has released a steady volume of work in several years. Their two albums via NNA Tapes, ​The Fool​ (2018) and its critically acclaimed follow-up ​Flood Dream​ (2020) exist alongside a wide range of collaborations.

In 2018, the group wrote and performed a full-length soundtrack to ​”I Love You”​, an erotic film directed by Brooke Candy. 2019’s ​Angel Lust​, a collaborative EP with Eartheater, followed courtesy of legendary experimental label PAN. In 2020, they dropped a number of shorter releases including “Antigone,” a collaborative single with American black metal band Liturgy; a remix of their ​Flood Dream​ track “Wave” by British electronic musician Actress; another remix of the album’s penultimate track “First Way” by the venerable Drew McDowall (Coil/Psychic TV); and collaboration with Deli Girls for their new album ​BOSS​ called “barriers to love.”
