Leyya release new song ‘Drumsolo’ and announce new album

Austrian electro-pop duo Leyya have released another stellar single ‘Drumsolo’ and announced their upcoming album Sauna. The pair have gone from strength to strength following the success of their previous releases ‘Oh Wow’, and ‘Zoo’ which piqued the interest of tastemakers such as Pigeons and Planes, Wonderland Magazine, Clash magazine, Complex, Konbini, The 405, Consequence of Sound. Their debut album Spanish Disco created whirlwind of huge festival performances and radio play, as well as television and film appearances. Hit single ‘Superego’ quickly racked up over 3 million plays on Spotify and had over 550,000 Youtube views.

Their list of colourful performances include the stages of The Great Escape (Brighton, UK), Liverpool Sound City (Liverpool, UK), Tallinn Music Week (Tallinn, EE), PrimaveraSound (Barcelona, SP) and Electronic Beats at Reeperbahn Festival (Hamburg, DE) – before finally headlining Popfest (Vienna, AT.) Their performance at Iceland Airwaves was called one of the “most exciting” on display by Consequence of Sound; while Musikexpress was similarly enthusiastic about their show at Eurosonic Nooderslag, calling it “The best concert of this year’s Eurosonic Festival.”

The track is characterised by drum solos with Sophie Lindinger’s delicate, yet fiery vocal work, and Marco Kleebauer’s concise, yet playful approach to percussion.

Speaking of the single ‘Drumsolo’ Leyya comments: “Drumsolo is one of our favourite tracks of the new album – on the one hand it’s very complex (at one point it doesn’t even make sense music-theoretically) but on the other hand the melody is very catchy so you don’t notice its quirkiness – that’s what we always wanted our tracks to be like – different layers to discover depending on the listeners mood.”
