The Persian Leaps: Electrical Living

Power-pop band The Persian Leaps are no longer an actual performing band, but have turned into a two-man studio project. Drew Forsberg and John Hunt hit the ground running with the full-length Electrical Living, 11 songs about a future that never happened. Back in the late Fifties and early Sixties "electrical" was a buzz word that whispered about a promised land in TechniColor, the culmination of the American Dream before reality sank in.

Forsberg pokes fun at the naivety of those days, but there is also longing for a more innocent age. The music has a definite retro vibe With songs about cats, new albums, longing and sweet nothings. It is all done in excellent taste, with crunchy guitars, spot on vocals, and a minimum of studio trickery.

Electrical Living is released via Land Ski Records.
