In this enduring worldwide pandemic, the album is a beaming ode to the unique connection live music brings, an amalgam of feelings that can only be shared with an audience. Of the album, Leif states, ‚ÄúLast year I had a chance to revisit these songs and I realized they had something my records didn‚Äôt have. They resonate with that incalculable energy of a live audience. It didn‚Äôt matter whether they were listening to FM radio on the freeway, watching a CBS broadcast of The Late Late Show at home or standing right there in front me at the Troubadour in LA. The audience completes the music. They inform it and they shape it. They‚Äôre on the other end of the frequency and they make new waves of their own. That symbiosis is something during these past two years I‚Äôve missed more than anything. And I feel it on this record. The thing about live music is that, until about a hundred years ago, it was the only kind of music there was.‚Äù\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIDE A\r 1.

He will release his highly anticipated fourth full-length album NEW WAYS on Nov. 1st, the follow-up to his breakthrough Polaris Music Prize finalist, Juno nominated record Twin Solitude. The previous record is now at over 22 million streams and was critically acclaimed by Uncut, NPR Music, The Fader, The Sunday Times Culture, The Line of Best Fit, Paste, Brooklyn Vegan, WXPN, KCRW and Exclaim! to only name a few. New Ways is the sound of desire in its unfolding - whereas Twin Solitude was about self-reflection, New Ways is about engaging and changing, touching and being touched. It's a physical record, with louder and tighter grooves, and the rawest lyrics the musician has ever recorded - tenderness and violence, sex and rebirth, Plato and Julie Delpy. There's the heat of the night and the cool blue of morning, hints of Prince and Bill Withers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e01. The Way That You Feel\r 02. Never Be Back\r 03. Hot Tears\r 04.
