<p class="MsoNormal">Hello! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Leisure Cruise</b> will be performing a very special album release show on
<b>Saturday</b>, <b>May 31<sup>st</sup></b> at <b>Baby’s All Right</b> and we would love for you to come.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Leisure Cruise, the new project from <b>Leah Siegel</b> (Firehorse) +
<b>Dave Hodge</b> (Broken Social Scene), released their self-titled debut earlier this month via Last Gang Records.
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/29/steam-leisure-cruise-debut_n_5232868.html">
PRESS HERE</a> to stream the album and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz8v1ooASiA">
PRESS HERE</a> to watch the video for <b>“Double Digit Love.”</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dave and Leah reconnected in Brooklyn after Hurricane Sandy and began to write music together. The two wondered: what if we had to leave earth to colonize a new planet. They imagined “a final leisure cruise for
the human race” and the project is a soundtrack for just that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Let me know if you can make it!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Best,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Praise for <b>Leisure Cruise:</b><o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>“…high def, soaring synth-pop, with a side of spaceship funk.” –<b>Noisey</b><o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>“…a brooding, methodic homage to 80s” –<b>Earmilk<o:p></o:p></b></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><o:p> </o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Combining the synth-pop sounds we have long imagined will exist in the chrome-embossed clubs of an interstellar existence with the instruments-raised-to-the-cosmos attitude of bands like Angels & Airwaves, the duo's self-titled album is
undoubtedly the product of minds rooted in the digital era. From the dark grind of the sexy opener "Double Digit Love" to the radiant "Sailing" to the slow-building climax of "Ragged Dawn," Leisure Cruise will take you on a journey somewhere far away.”
<b><i>– Huffington Post </i></b><b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>“Though the idea may be the stuff of ominous, dystopian fears, the duo's first single ‘Sailing’ is anything but: a sunny, optimistic, synth-pop track screaming ‘Carpe Diem’ through your headphones.” –
<b>SPIN.com</b><o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>“…a duo that creates glistening, irresistible pop music.” –<b> Pigeons and Planes</b><o:p></o:p></i></p>
