Swiss atmospheric and dark shoegaze collective Last Leaf Down releases a new single and video, "Water", taken from the long-awaited third full-length, Weight Of Silence, due on 11 April through Lifeforce Records.
After a long break from releases, the band returned in December 2024 with the single "Silence", the first outing from Last Leaf Down's forthcoming album Weight Of Silence, a follow-up to the 2017-released album Bright Wide Colder. This quiet, emotionally charged song reflects the band's characteristic "dreamy shoegaze from the woods" sound and marks the beginning of a new creative phase. The long dry period was by no means left unused. Songwriter Benjamin Schenk experimented a lot and also consciously allowed new ideas to further advance the band's specific sound.
In misty forests, washed-out guitars meet pulsating drumming and emotional depth. Shoegaze mixed with dark vibes and a pinch of grunge. Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to "Water". The previously released single "Reach The Sun" is over HERE. Link

"I like to call our music suicide pop, because our songs are pretty easy to listen to, but the topics are very negative and quite dark. It's pop, but negative pop." - Simone Salvatori
