Tender, earnest vocals, melodic xylophone tugs on the strings of your heart, and lackadaisical guitar riffs lend to the dreamiest of sing-alongs of the pop anthem variety.
Leapling’s video for ‘Seventeen’ involves every adolescent boy’s dream sequence; your favourite high school dance team performing their version of Flash Dance behind a fuzzy, disco-ball reflecting veil. Just how you remembered it.
Leapling’s yet to be titled EP drops in January via Father/Daughter.
