We get to know kicked back New Zealand five-piece LEISURE a little bit better.<\/p>\n

You only really need to look at LEISURE’s <\/a>name to guess what they’re sound is all about: swimming in a sonic pool of laid back vibes and a spacey, sprawling noise. Maybe it’s that\u00a0Auckland\u00a0air, but these five have really developed a beautiful, sometimes faintly chilling aural identity that draws from a whole load of influences to make something singular. After barricading themselves together in Muriwai, the boys put together “Got It Bad”, the song that turned out to be their breakthrough track, storming YouTube and Souncloud and cementing these five musical voices together as a group.<\/p>\n

Since then, they’ve been beavering away and winning ever more fans with songs like “Hot Love” and “All Over You”, but they’ve hit new highs thanks to”Nobody”, their collaboration with US rapper GoldLink. Tight harmonies, silky\u00a0synths, and\u00a0a woozy, poolside vibe\u00a0mean we’ve been sticking it on repeat big time here at\u00a0Wonderland<\/em>. During our in-depth conversation with the boys, we talk freeform creativity, the advantages of Twitter, and the musical spirit of the Southern Hemisphere: so, read on and listen hard. This is LEISURE.<\/p>\n
