Australian artist Leura is, at 25 years old, bringing a foresight and a mature understanding of the world to her music that few can match at any stage in their life, let along their mid-twenties. The young artist has stated that she is "quite openly wounded by the world," a sentiment reflected in her lyrics and the overarching sense of emotional attachment her sound creates. Developing her talents in Sydney's underground live music scene, Leura is set to release her new EP Brutal, Broken, Unspoken with the backing of a full band. The first release is "Drifter", a delicate but emotionally brutal track stemming from a place of honesty few would ever dare reach within themselves. "Sins give their knees, for you, for me," she laments, with a voice that could move mountains, soaring in cathartic release with each and every note. Her sound is London Grammar meets Bjork, awe-inspiring vocals embracing melancholy guitar work, inspired drums. Leura is going to be one to watch. Take a listen below.
