Leoniden (feat. Pabst) – Freaks
Five years ago Leoniden’s career reached a turning point. It was the last time the Berlin band released a single with more than two words in its title. Since then, one-word titles have been the norm. And they haven’t stopped doing so in 2021.
Freak is the new single of brothers Lennart and Felix Eicke, Jakob Amr, Djamin Izadi and JP Neumann. It’s a hymn to being an outsider. A typical Leoniden song, it combines a ‘90s guitar pop sound with a modern feel. This results in a sparkling and powerful anthem with a huge chorus. The track features Erik Heise, singer of German neo-grunge band Pabst, as guest vocalist.
Freaks is the sixth single to be released ahead of Leoniden’s upcoming album, which is set for release on 20 August. It’s called Complex Happenings Reduced To A Simple Design. Maybe a reference to the band’s one-word song titles? 😉
