Leprous have revealed that their new studio album will be out later this year.
The follow-up to 2017’s Malina is titled Pitfalls, and it’ll launch on October 25 through InsideOut Music on CD, limited edition mediabook CD with two bonus tracks, 2LP on heavyweight vinyl and on digital and streaming platforms.
Leprous vocalist and keyboardist Einar Solberg says: “We're incredibly proud to announce Pitfalls. It's the album no one is expecting from Leprous. When you think you know where it's headed, you'll realise you're wrong.
“It's not only by far the biggest production and musical departure we've done, but the also most personal and honest.
“The album has been written through one of my toughest years, where I struggled with depression and anxiety. No filters, no metaphors, just the truth.”
He adds: “They say that writing music is therapeutic. but I would say that it's an understatement. For me Pitfalls is the result of 18 months of learning how to get through the dark tunnel. The music has been my torch.”
Leprous will unveil the first single and video from Pitfalls on Friday (August 30) although they’re keeping details under wraps for there moment.
Pitfalls was recorded with producer David Castillo and mixed by Adam Noble at Ghostward Studios, while the cover art was painted by Indonesian artist Elicia Edijanto.
Leprous have also shared a video trailer where they reflect on Malina, which can be watched below.
Leprous will head out on tour in support of Pitfalls with The Ocean and Port Noir from November.
