Just as the Velvets often lived in the oblivion of sunbeams, Leopardo knows the finer things in life are quiet anticipation, rigorous conversation on a scenic drive, minneolas, gusts of wind.

There are people who enjoy reading Rimbaud on oceanic vacation as much as they like blowing lines off a washing machine in a Midwest winter basement, and this is for that type of lifer.\" -Brandon Gaffney\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased September 22, 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten, played and recorded by Romain Savary\u003cbr\u003eBacking vocals on track 1 Isumi Grichting \u0026amp; Radiana Basso\u003cbr\u003eBacking vocals on track 4 by Isumi Grichting \u0026amp; Severin Bierli\u003cbr\u003eBacking vocal \u0026amp; additional guitar on track 8 by Blaise Yerly\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Michael Francey except tracks 1-2-5 mixed by Romain Savary\u003cbr\u003eMastering by Carl Saff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt by Thomas Simon \u0026amp; Julien Marmar\u003cbr\u003eGraphic design by Gabrielle d'Alessandro\u003cbr\u003ePictures by Adélie Vertès, Radiana Basso \u0026amp; Romain Savary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVideo by Elias Gamma\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Feel It Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67842456322147,"sku":"fzx1793391477393","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/2592\/7267\/files\/leopardo---solo-recordings-2019-2022-new-lp_1.jpg?v=1793391487","url":"https:\/\/blisscutclad.shop\/products\/leopardo-solo-recordings-2019-2022-new-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
