(May 24, 2011) — New York purveyors of dreamy pop Lawrence & Leigh dazzle with their multilayered song, “Glow”. The latest release from their EP, Hills and Masts is filled with sharply contrasting, yet strangely complimenting sections; a lush, exploratory intro, built on overdubbed choirs of the two's voices moves unexpectedly to an electronic, beat-heavy pop anthem and then ends in 1960’s style indie/jazz with driving piano, brushed drums, and doo-wop backing vocals. “We wanted to create a song that was filled with lyrics and imagery from beginning to end, and were not afraid of length and style change,” says Kristin Stokes, who along with partner Andrew Kalleen wrote “Glow”. Each portion of the song was painstakingly created using unique vintage instruments, subtle synths and of course, the duo’s voices altered for a different sound for each section. The transitions are understated, so much so that the listener may wonder just how he or she arrived in this new, beautiful soundscape. “Glow” is available for download now: http://glgpub.com/ The duo’s recently released video for “Glow” is a work of stunning visual art that brilliantly complements the shifting moods of the song. Kalleen and Stokes merge the two arts in the painstakingly created video, which features stop-motion animation and breathtaking desert scenes. As with everything Lawrence & Leigh do, both contribute equally essential parts: Stokes, puppetry; Kalleen, photography and editing with concept and design being a shared vision. We follow the protagonist, a puppet (manipulated so that his "still" face seems to somehow change expression appropriate to his situation), as he moves through a series of beautiful worlds, each with its own unique style and purpose. “Glow” is now available here: http://glgpub.com/ Lawrence & Leigh are not the sort of artists who wait for inspiration to come before producing great work. The duo spends their time, thought and energy creating and perfecting their music. The result of this hard work is beautiful and bold, with a refreshing originality and an infectious sense of style. The duo’s first major undertaking, entitled Odyssey, is a set of three EPs, each with its own distinct sound and character. The first release, which has been a year in the making, is in fact the final chapter, Volume III: Hills and Masts. Hills and Masts was released March 7. Praise for Lawrence & Leigh "One thing they're not is a typical folk duo...The music of Andrew Kalleen and Kristin Stokes seems to reinvent itself after every listen..." --The Deli "The trip-hoppy-1940s- "There isn't a moment on Hills and Masts that isn't engaging...You'd even swear that Elliot Smith appeared momentarily to haunt 'Heeled Shoes'." http://exclaim.ca/ "Coming across like a blend of Dirty Projectors, Joanna Newsom and the haunting richness of Fleet Foxes, the duo offer up dense harmonies and elaborate song structures with a melancholy yet occasionally optimistic tone." --The Mad Mackerel "MAGNET is proud to premiere the video for Vol. III standout "Chelsea Nights..." --Magnet "With light piano and Kristin Stokes’ chamber-hall- —Fensepost # # # A publicity company with the highest level of passion, honesty, and integrity, while simultaneously successfully launching the careers of independent musicians.
