New Zealand’s critically acclaimed electro-funk collective LEISURE have returned with their new single “Easy Way Out”, out now via Nettwerk. Premiered by This Song Is Sick , the infectious new track comes ahead of their forthcoming sophomore album due for release later this year. To celebrate the release, LEISURE have also announced a string of Australian tour dates kicking off at Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club on March 30th.

Taking a slightly different approach, “Easy Way Out” sees an evolution in LEISURE’s sound. On the track, the band discusses overcoming personal challenges, the release and self-empowerment that believing in yourself and making positive change can give. They explain:
.
“Easy Way Out is something new for us, there’s a tension and slightly darker feel in it which reflects lyrically in the verses.” – LEISURE
.
A spur-of-the-moment holiday is what lead to the creation of LEISURE. The band who’d been writing songs and producing records in various guises for many years decided to take their gear and create their own ideal music-making world by a beach up Auckland’s west coast.
.
“It’s been something like 700 days since we released our debut album – admittedly we had no idea what we were making, or how we were doing it, the only certainty was that the combination of the creative energies when we were all in a room was a feeling none of us had felt before. Over the past year or so we’ve been capturing new moments from new places for the next collection of LEISURE songs…” – LEISURE
.
Made up of five independently talented and successful members; LEISURE are an anomaly in the music industry. Having amassed over 50 million streams on their 2016 self-titled debut album, which entered at #2 in the NZ charts, they have built a rabid fan following that has seen their very occasional live shows sell out and become the stuff of legends.
“Easy Way Out” is available on all digital platforms now!
