Sounds Like"You'd think a bass-drums duo would sound spare, but Julie DeLano and Sam Lazzara of The Leader fill out their sound with weird, soundscapey flourishes. Their recent Olive Juice disc, "Dorian Gray Days", is an atmospheric, ambitious affair; the songs vary in tone, but they're uniformly imaginative-if not not always charming." -Time Out New York Aug. 3, 2007

   About The Leader


THE LEADER rock out with the dynamic grace of two sonic gymnasts (in formal attire). Careening through a thousand time signatures and pop genres, bassist Julie DeLano and drummer Sam Lazzara reign supreme over the low end, with suspenseful rhythmic patterns beneath wickedly clever melodies and lyrics. It would be math rock if it weren't so soulful...yeah.

remember when we saw the diamond together? "Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads..."
