Mentioned in Dispatches: Leak – Iser Conne

As the first release from Tokyo-based Iser Conne, Leak acts as the perfect calling card and mission statement, an intriguing taste of what’s to come and tentative testing of the sonic waters. It not only reminds us that rock music is still a potent force in the music world but it is also found here in a really up-to-date and of-the-moment alternative form.

Leak is the sound of raw rock music given a layer of sheen and sophistication. If you listen between the fading of each note and the intake of breath between each lyrical line, you can hear all manner of atmospheric sonics and beguiling beauty pooling and percolating. This is the song that asks more questions than it answers; this is a song that is more than the sum of its parts.
