Melbourne based alt-rocker George Kalpa has just announced the release of his new single, ‘Leave That Street Alone’ and debut album, MODE alongside a show at Revolver (Melbourne) on October 11.

Dark, soulful and cool, ‘Leave That Street Alone’ features Kalpa’s smooth, deep vocal, a seductive saxophone that drawls through the song’s entirety and expertly looped backing vocals.

As a distinguished filmmaker with awards under his belt for a number of internationally acclaimed short films, there’s no wonder Kalpa has taken to the task of creating the video himself.

“For me the song is about a young man having a bad time. He deals with his situation in the only way that he can. He overshoots a realisation and just goes for it,” Kalpa explains. “But it can mean anything to anyone, it’s all about connecting with art in your own way.”

Kalpa will be launching his upcoming album MODE on the 11th October at Revolver, for more info visit his Facebook page.
