The Leisure Society – The Sober Scent Of Paper

UK’s The Leasure Society take a bossa-inspired turn with the lead single from their forthcoming April-due Alone Aboard the Ark LP. The fine amor “The Sober Scent of Paper” is a quite literate song (including a reference to Wuthering Heights and the well constructed meter of phrases like “faithfully facing the warmth of the sun” and “the fever on the quickening brow”) and, in fact, the entire Alone LP is inspired by the life of Sylvia Plath. Give “The Sober Scent of Paper” your ears below.
