While Norwegian Rock outfit Leprous continue to promote their 8th studio album Melodies Of Atonement, they are now releasing a very special digital single of a cover version of A-HA’s “Take on Me”, which was recorded during the band’s latest North American tour at the Musora Media studios in Abbotsford, Canada. The recording was part of a challenge, where Leprous heard the song blind and had to record it on the spot in a space of a few hours.
Created during an episode of Musora’s “Covers On The Spot” series, “Take On Me (Musora Session)” can be checked out across digital platforms worldwide today here.
Leprous drummer Baard Kolstad has recently also appeared as guest of the acclaimed Drumeo platform with a “Leprous Grooves & Fills” feature showcasing play-through recordings for various Leprous songs, which can be checked out here.
Leprous latest album Melodies Of Atonement was recorded with David Castillo at Ghost Ward Studios in Sweden, mixed by Adam Noble (Placebo, Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves, among others) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, Placebo, The Gaslight Anthem, among others). The artwork is based on photography by John Dolan with design by Ritxi Ostáriz.
