Leif Erikson announce themselves with “Looking For Signs”
“A song about growing up in doubt, and not knowing where you - and society in general - is going."
This is how lead-singer Sam describes “Looking For Signs”, the laid-back, languid rock debut from Leif Erikson.
Immediate comparisons place the new London five-piece - who take their name from an Icelandic explorer - somewhere between Kurt Vile, The War On Drugs and Fleet Foxes but inspiration from original purveyors such as Steely Dan and The Doobies very carefully shines through to create the track’s effortlessly cool hue.
Beautifully crafted guitar tones resonate perfectly throughout, dominated by an earworm riff and crunching chord work, as a metronomic rhythm section keeps things moving through the peaks and troughs of the moreish outing that begs to be returned-to.
They may say they don’t know where they’re going but “Looking For Signs” clearly proves Leif Erikson are headed in an extremely good direction; watch the suitably exploratory video below.
