Leptirica is a sonic ceremony—a body electric humming with transformation's tension and a critique of our dying dreams. It is intimate yet insists you dance as transparent vocals, electronics and programmed drums pump through veins that remember the hedonism of Chris & Cosey, Clan of Xymox’s melancholy, and Scott Walker’s enigmatic trill.
Born as poems in the mountain shadows of Flagstaff, Arizona, they crawled through the dusty caliche of Tucson from 2018 to 2021, finally finding a brutalist finish as Leptirica in Brooklyn, New York. These songs are scars, tracing a soul’s unraveling and rebuilding—an odyssey from faith’s ruin to rebirth in spirituality, mortality, and sexuality. Leptirica is an ode to becoming, a sonic testament to the chaos and beauty of perpetual transformation: music that has more in common with ritual than song.
