5...according to our Clinton on Sun 10 May, 2009.

I kind of ignored the Leisure Society. Having heard this wonderful single I just don't know why. Maybe its the whole Paddy Constatine & Shane Meadows were in them or the Ivor Novello Award thingy. Anyway just ignored them until my dad mentioned them to me the other day. He's often a man of great taste so i listened to the album and its so so marvellous. This song 'Last of the Melting Snow' is certainly a highlight and a deserved single. In fact it made me weep. Yes I cried real tears, pouring down my cheeks on to the 'stock to pull' sheets. I don't know what to compare it to - a bit of Belle & Sebastian, Love, Nick Drake, Fleet Foxes, Tindersticks maybe. Beautiful orchestrated pastoral pop.

It's been hard to avoid the news that The Leisure Society's track The Last of the Melting Snow has been nominated for the world's most prestigious
songwriting award. The results are in this month, the ceremony takes place on 21st May, they're up against Elbow and The Last Shadow Puppets.
At last made available on wax by our good friends at Willkommen, with picture sleeve and on lovely seven inch vinyl - god's format! Fierce limited edition release - act very quickly indeed
