UK Release Date: Out Now
Leif Erikson have premiered their new track ’21 Grams’, which is available now. Returning late last year with the acclaimed ‘Matter’ - following their debut mini-album and extensive touring - the London-based five-piece play a run of UK headline dates across February and early March, including a homecoming show at The Dome, Tufnell Park on 28th February. ’21 Grams’ is lifted from Leif Erikson’s brand new EP of the same name, which is coming soon.
Musically wistful and freewheeling, ’21 Grams’ nonetheless packs an emotional lyrical punch for Leif Erikson. “I was struggling with the oppressive commute into central London,” says lead singer Sam, “and it had me thinking about the concept of the soul, and whether it had a place in this 24 hour, consumer, growth-mindset led environment. The image of an experiment performed by a doctor in the early part of the 20th century came to mind, in which he tried to prove that the soul had physical mass by weighing people at the point of death. One subject lost 21 grams as they passed on. The experiment was far from scientifically sound but left a poetic allegory that took my fancy.”
