Ah The Leisure Society. This years word of mouth sensations. Guy Garvey is a fan but don't let that put you off. Their debut album 'The Sleeper' slipped out without fanfare but once the standout track 'Last of the Winter Snow' was nominated for an Ivor Novello award everyone and his dog was jumping on the bandwagon. Including me. Though I found out about them through the unlikely route of my dad, it was only a matter of time before their beautiful English folky songs found their way into my cranium. Anyway 'The Sleeper' is about to be re-issued by Full Time Hobby with a bonus 8 track CD and ahead of that comes a single 'Save it for Someone Who Cares' which is a superb lolloping Sufjan Stevens style orchestral pop blast but with a defining English twist. An absolutely glorious tune. B side is a non album track 'Bona Fide' which has more of the flutes and strings but sits somewhere between Belle and Sebastien and Gene Clark if such a place exists.

Save It For Someone Who Cares’ is a beautiful mix of folk-pop
with dreamlike harmonies. The first ever radio play for the single
came from Radio 1’s Zane Lowe.

The Leisure Society’s previous single, ‘The Last Of The Melting
Snow’, was nominated in the Best Song category at the 2009 Ivor
Novello Awards.

The band will be main support act to Alela Diane at Shepherd’s
Bush Empire in September and they will also be appearing at the
Big Chill, Green Man and End Of The Road festivals.

The Leisure Society’s album ‘The Sleeper’ was Guy Garvey from
Elbow’s favourite album of 2008.
