One of my absolute favourite albums of the year is “Sleeper” by The Leisure Society. This warm, melodic folky pop gem has received far too little attention. It’s a brilliant album from start to finish, and one of the few that I never seem to get tired of…. So, – my intention with this post was not to write a love letter to The Leisure Society, but to tell you that they have signed with one of my favourite labels (here I go again…) Full Time Hobby, – a label I feel suits them perfectly. Full Time Hobby will be re-releasing “Sleeper” on October 5th in brand new packaging and with an extra bonus disc of previously unreleased material as well as issuing the first-ever vinyl release of the album. If you can’t wait until October, the album is available on iTunes, and I bet you will love it!

Here’s a track from the album:
