about
Two-time Ivor Novello nominees The Leisure Society are back with a new song recorded in collaboration with pioneering musician, producer and artist, Brian Eno.
‘Brave Are The Waves’ is the first feature track from a forthcoming 2023 EP. It was recorded as a one-take live performance at The Kink’s famous ‘Konk’ studios, then sent to regular collaborator and champion of the band, Brian Eno, who created new textures and sounds across the song.
The band first met Eno in 2009 when he emerged as a fan of their debut album, The Sleeper. That album went on to be a Rough Trade Album of the Year and secured the band their first record deal, along with those two Ivor Novello nominations. Eno also played on the band’s song ‘I’ll Pay For It Now’, from their last 2019 double album Arrivals & Departures.
Emerging from lockdown with a big new collection of songs, The Leisure Society will be doing a small tour in UK later this year,before embarking on a major album tour in 2024.
lyrics
Brave are the waves that crash to the shore
Ours is a love made of leather
Send up a flare, a fire to be seen
Save me a dream for my pillow
All for the life
All for the life that we made
Soft is the voice that bends on the breeze
Make me a home from the willow
Won't summer send its song out to me
Trapped in the arms of forever

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
