   About Leena

i am . a girl who moved from hobart to marseilles to cork to fremantle to los angeles to melbourne . after writing a million songs, having a million adventures and meeting a million lovely people, the time came to release one little EP called 'mean old clock' that day was may . 8th . 2009 . hopefully a million more to come .

here's something that someone wrote about me...

Leena's debut set of songs on the Mean Old Clock EP introduces a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with a sunny exterior, and, upon closer listen, a darker core. Tasmanian-born but a Perth girl at heart, she's travelled the globe, recorded from Bronte to Burbank and worked a charmingly odd array of jobs along the way. She's currently selling bespoke suits in Melbourne by day and writing her somewhat world-weary songs at night, as well as playing supports slots for artists including Bob Evans, Lior, Skipping Girl Vinegar, and Rufus Wainwright.

The songs on the EP are the result of sessions with a three different but esteemed producers: ARIA-winner Josh Pyke, Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, Tori Amos, My Morning Jacket), and Mike Daly (Whiskeytown). With hints of the sophistication of Neil Finn, the moxie of Jenny Lewis, and the wistfulness of Cat Power, Leena's songs show us she's a hopeful observer and a thoughtful old soul.

Hey Leena!

I love your new songs - they are much moodier and (dare I say it) darker that before, but I like this new flavour all the same! The harmonies on 'Mean Old Clock' are exquisite!

Much love,

Ry x

PS - My faves "Knife's Edge" and "Family Tree". :)
