Description
LEYA is the Brooklyn based duo of harpist Marilu Donovan (Eartheater, Aerial East, Julie Byrne) and violinist / vocalist Adam Markiewicz (PC Worship, The Dreebs).With Flood Dream, LEYA subvert the academic and classical connotations of their instruments, instead reframing them in a DIY punk ethos and favoring intuition over pedagogy to inform their creative process. Their arrangements bridge instances of baroque ornamentation and blocks of harmonic density with stretches of fugue state-inducing confusion built over dreary standing tones and repeated dissonant intervals.
Flood Dream includes a few tracks from their feature-length score of Brooke Candy's queer pornagraphic film 'I Love You' (made for PornHub's Visionaries Director's Club) and follows their debut album, The Fool. The lead single and album opener, which features experimental pop vocalist/composer GABI, hints at the expanded sound of Flood Dream which was written during an extensive touring over four months in the US, Canada & Europe.
Description
The sophomore album from New York-based duo LEYA, Flood Dream, is a haunting, collection of structurally concise and aurally spacious songs for harp, violin, and voice that move between intense feelings of desolation and wonder.
Marilu Donovan and Adam Markiewicz's dark, kaleidoscopic soundscapes find a natural immediacy in tone and atmosphere that makes itself available to listeners of all tastes, as displayed by the duo's diverse list of credits from Bambara and Liturgy to Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Christina Vantzou.
