A few of the photos we used for the “reflected, reflected” design, an album made to accompany “come back to me, but lightly”. I worked with @davidgalletly - we wanted to design something that spoke to the original album designs (by the legendary @andrewjbeltran ), but that took it somewhere new, a bit of a moon-like companion to a work that was all about the sun 🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓 These photos were taken in Finland while I lived there, and I think hold some of the longing and tension that I felt permeated my life at the time. “reflected, reflected” contains unreleased songs, secret songs, and alternate mixes, and you can listen where you listen or buy a copy from myself through bandcamp (link in bio 🥞). Hope you enjoy the works, and sending (as always) much love, Leif #moonlife #companion #ice #naturephotography #spellsthatwork

This video of ‘Petrol Soft Breath’ was recorded for @scotsman_arts featuring projections by Blew the Veils’ @vivien_mcdermid

🩸 OUT TODAY 🩸 'Own Blood' - the brand new single from our favourite Canada-born, Glasgow-based folk pop sorcerer, @ltleif . Leif says: "Made with longtime collaborator Morgan Greenwood @grinbucket (Calgary, CAN)! Own Blood takes place by the dark and frozen Finnish sea, and is about other people assuming inner knowledge of your secret self. It features the trope of the body as being cold if inaccessible, and is about the real ways a body melts - an internal/secret/precious process that can be supported but never claimed by others." A mysterious, skittering dream-pop gem that you'll be sure to treasure. Streaming now: 🎧 li.sten.to/ownblood Taken from the EP 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 - which featured on the deluxe expanded CD version of 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘛𝘰 𝘔𝘦, 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘭𝘺. The whole EP hits streaming services next month - and the track will feature as an exclusive postcard single as part of April's delivery of our #PostMap club. See L.T. Leif live when they hit the road with @lucemawdsley next month for a series of special intimate double headline show. 9th April @ilkleymoorvaults , Ilkley 10th April @gutlevelsheffield 12th April Metal Culture, Liverpool 13th April @thegladcafe , Glasgow 17th April @thecumberlandarms , Newcastle 🎟 ltleif.com/shows/ #lostmap #lostmaprecords #postmap #postmapclub #ltleif #lucemawdsley #ukgigs #uktour #newmusic
