FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The rock crew from the Netherlands
known as The Sign of Leo have released their latest single, titled,
“Talking to the Moon.” The single has been paired with a
concurrently released B-side single, “Don't Let It Pass You By.”
Together they are the most significant official releases from the
band since their late 2012 singles, “Look Up at the Sky” and
“Where Do We Go from Here?” which garnered much affirmative
attention from critics and music lovers alike, and which quickly
became an important milestone in the Sign of Leo experience.
The immediately striking attribute of
the Sign of Leo is the live, genuine rock feel with which they infuse
all of their music. Their sound can especially be compared to artists
such as David Bowie, John Cale, Talk Talk, Echo and the Bunnymen, and
Tears for Fears. Like bands such as these, the high quality of their
songwriting may be easily marked while hearing any of their original
tunes. It is a striking feature of Sign that each of their songs is
infectious, intelligent, and singularly imaginative.
Their overall tone, which is rooted in
the '60s, '70s and early '80s styles, is certain to be appreciated by
fans of music that does not bury live instrumentation with layer
after layer of digital effects, as has become standard in
contemporary pop. It will also cheer the audiophile with an ear for
well-orchestrated samples and keyboards, which the Sign of Leo use
tastefully and gorgeously as accompaniments to their guitars, drums,
and bass.
Speaking of his impetus in creating
music, singer Martin Erich writes, “I was first introduced to music
by my older brother. I picked up a lot of influences that way. From
The Beatles to classical music like Bach, and also jazz and blues by,
for instance, John Coltrane and Muddy Waters. I started playing
guitar and writing my own material later on. The Sign Of Leo is the
ultimate result of my efforts. And I’m very pleased with it.”
Music listeners worldwide will be
likewise pleased when “Talking to the Moon” by the Sign of Leo
becomes available 8 December 2013. Get in early.
