A Stellar Evolution Brings Leon Frear To The Fold With Secret Second Moon From Wild Rice LP

Leon Frear
Secret Second Moon
Chicago
 
With a brand-new album on its way in the new year, the Chicago-based rock and alternative music creative Leon Frear offers a fascinating animated video single. Secret Second Moon is the first track released under the artist’s new name and has been brought to life by French film-maker Ronald Grandpey. The Wild Rice LP is due out on the 2nd of February and is no-doubt an exciting time for Leon as his new sound and direction are brought into real life. Having produced the album at his home studio after setting up sticks and moving to a new city, it’s more than a fresh start in music for this mark two archetype. A basis of genuine experiences such as broken hearts and broken phones lend their clarity and symbology to his work as the down-to-earth yet rich in imagery music hits home.
 
A vibrant drumbeat begins the music as a quick-step bass and guitar join to match. A ska-punk energy forms the riff and the lyrics hit with hushed and melodic lines. A surge of classic rock merges with the snare-driven rhythm as bluesy chords with a thick and fruity distortion lava over the backbone of the beat. With swinging bars, the chorus and verse align with a steady pulse in between that stitches the various acts together in a seamless screenplay of still-life sound. Secret Second Moon from Leon Frear has a hint of the Fun Lovin Criminals about it with style and swagger from the band meeting a cool and tempered vocal section.
