about

Leider is an ensemble that plays songs by Rishin Singh and hails from the city of Berlin. A Fog Like Liars Loving, their debut album, is fragile and delicate music that reflects the darker side of urban living – themes of addiction, alienation, casual cruelty, and paranoia are present throughout – while maintaining an understated gallows humor. Though difficult to categorize, they can reference the textures of Musique Concrète or the structures of Wandelweiser. They can also devolve into cascades of no-wave inspired noise and are almost always just at the edge of falling apart.

These eight songs extend a patient hand to the listener, playing with chance and human idiosyncracy: exposed instrumental playing where the hairs scraping across strings and the air required to produce a note are as important as the notes themselves. Hardly ever truly in tune or in time with one another, yet fully in conversation. Hardly a note that isn’t broken or damaged in some way – both antidote and mirror to the disintegration of sedentary life.

“A Fog Like Liars Loving is an argument in favour of human fragility and imperfection – what is scorned or sought to be transcended in current aesthetic and political discourse." – Rishin Singh

“Led by composer Rishin Singh, this sublime ensemble fits neatly into the complex of Berlin musicians devoted to alternate tunings. Blending exquisite, enveloping long tones, the measured singing of Annie Gårlid and Stine Sterne, and stately, slowly unfolding melodies, Leider is an art-song combo that finds the commonalities in John Dowland, the Velvet Underground, and La Monte Young.” – Peter Margasak

Splash! Puzzling shoals pour from lips. Bubbling buoys of song tickling ears with ripples, fuzzy feels, a jacuzzi in your shell-like, an intimate sea of sound. Blissful but not becalmed. Jump in! boogiedroid

Valo Siroutuu
by Sontag Shogun x Lau Nau

supported by 9 fans who also own “A Fog Like Liars Loving”

Beautiful intimacy has always been something of Sontag Shogun's music, and this new record, thanks to the collaboration with Lau Nau has taken this further. It is possible that the use of lyric and vocals becoming more prominent has encouraged this sense of closeness, but simultaneously the lushous textural layering has continued to remain at the core. As such the record strikes a perfect balance of staying true to Sontag Shogun's previous form whilst also charting new territory. nujumi
