I Know Leopard Announce Single 'Hold This Tight'

Dream-pop purveyors, I Know Leopard have returned with a second single, Hold This Tight, off their forthcoming EP, due out later this year.  This idyllic single was written as a tribute to friendship and the strong creative ties that they’ve developed in the Sydney community since leaving their hometown of Adelaide.

“A new curiosity on the Aussie music scene that everyone is craning their necks to get a look at.” 
- YEN Magazine

Their first single, She, was heralded by the likes of triple j, Indie Shuffle and Yen Magazine which helped put them on the map as kings of the ‘indie’ jungle.  

After playing to a sold-out Sydney audience as part of a National tour off the back of their single release, I Know Leopard are ready to send you soaring through a tangerine dream-lit sky with their floaty vocals and awe-inspiring soundscape of melodies.

Their melancholic pop aesthetics have launched them into comparisons with Beach House, Jesus and Mary Chain and Brian Wilson, touching on elements of isolation as this five-piece glide through their other-worldly dreamscape, taking you along for the ride.
 
Hold This Tight was recorded at Sydney’s iconic REC Studios at 301 Castlereagh Street (former EMI Studios)  with young producer Craig Willson (Flume, New Navy, The Church).  I Know Leopard have performed alongside the likes Deep Sea Arcade, The Rubens, Goldfields and Miami Horror.
