An I Know Leopard Australian Tour 2014 has been announced.
Following on from releasing their debut EP Illumina last Friday, I Know Leopard, one of Sydney’s most exciting new bands, has today announced an EP launch tour along the East Coast as well as releasing a new music video for the shimmering ‘Daisy Eyes’
Shot and directed by Hari Jago (who also created the video clip for their debut single, ‘She’) is a performance clip with a macabre Eastern twist. It features the band flashing in and out of their haunting alter egos, and is a great visual accomplishment to the track’s beautiful coupling of sunny dream-pop influences with 50s and 60s aural touchstones. Watch it below.
I Know Leopard provided Tone Deaf with an in-depth track by track along with a stream of Illumina ahead of its release on Bandcamp last Friday 16th May as a pay what you want price model. The EP’s lead single, ‘She’, swiftly gathering glowing comparisons to the likes of Beach House and Grizzly Bear, international adoration, and over 20,000 Soundcloud spins.
The band’s second single ‘Hold This Tight’ showed a more layered, complex offering, receiving solid National airplay on Triple J and Double J as well as community radio support and nods of approval from the discerning ears of bloggers and journalists worldwide.
‘Illumina’ was recorded at Sydney’s iconic REC Studios at 301 Castlereagh Street (former EMI Studios) with young producer Craig Willson (Flume, New Navy, The Church). I Know Leopard have performed alongside the likes Deep Sea Arcade, The Rubens, Goldfields and Miami Horror.
