Yes, you read the title correctly, Adam Leonard has just reelased his eighth album in eight months! OCTOPUS - 8 releases over 8 consecutive months, each containing 8 tracks began 08/08 (2014).
Octopus' is an audio retrospective of Adam Leonard's recorded work over the last decade, under his own name, pseudonyms, side-projects and collaborations, bringing together music from sold-out limited edition releases, album outtakes, demos, live versions, soundtrack work, BBC sessions and cover versions. All eight 'tentacles' features previously unreleased material. Stylistically impossible to pin down 'Octopus' issues forth Ivor Cutler-style harmonium dirges, acoustic guitar/vocal visions, pulsing analogue electronics, laptop prog, spooky instrumentals, glassy-eyed drones, and piano torch songs.
Adam has a website here. You can follow him on Twitter here and like on Facebook here.
