about

Today, Leif Vollebekk shares Rest, two new songs available now across all streaming services. In a time of social distancing, life has brought about a forced pause from normal life. It's encouraged some of us, including Leif himself, to reflect more, connect more, rest more. This release compliments that quiet introspection.

The double package highlights the beginning and the end of his critically acclaimed record Twin Solitude. Intro is a never before released song which was originally intended as the first piece on the album. The melody and lyrics, which echoes the song Vancouver Time, came to Leif when he was in a jetlag state, about a month before writing what would be known as the official opening track. The second song is an acoustic version of the ending opus Rest. This version was recorded in Castlemaine, Australia in a spur of the moment with sound engineer Jono Steer. It was recorded exactly a week before the world closed down its borders.

Aujourd’hui, Leif Vollebekk partage Rest, deux nouvelles chansons disponible via tous les services d’écoute en continu. En cette période de distanciation sociale, la vie nous force à prendre une pause de nos habitudes normales. Cela a encouragé certains d’entre nous, incluant Leif, à réfléchir davantage, à établir de nouvelles connexions, à se reposer plus. Cette parution reflète cette tranquille introspection.

Les deux nouvelles pièces représentent le début et la fin de son disque encensé par la critique Twin Solitude. Intro est une chanson inédite qui devait initialement être la première piste de cet album. La mélodie et les paroles, qui font écho à la chanson Vancouver Time, sont venues à Leif alors qu’il était en décalage horaire, environ un mois avant d’écrire ce qui serait la pièce d’ouverture officielle. La deuxième chanson est une version acoustique de Rest, la dernière piste de Twin Solitude. Cette version a été enregistrée de façon spontanée à Castlemaine, en Australie, avec l’ingénieur de son Jono Steer. Elle a été enregistrée exactement une semaine avant que le monde ferme ses frontières.
