Following 3 mesmerising singles, Leaving Laurel’s sophomore album ‘when the quiet comes’ will land May 19 via Anjunadeep. The album marks a new chapter for band members Gordon Huntley and Griff Fulton following the difficult loss of Pierce Fulton, whose talent and passion were immortalised in Leaving Laurel’s acclaimed self-titled 2020 debut album.
There is a unique songwriting process central to ‘when the quiet comes’; a reflective record awash with warm piano, inviting textural percussion, and delicate melodies. As Huntley discovered recordings laid down by himself and Pierce years prior, he was driven to continue what they had started. Like seeds planted in the winter, forgotten musical ideas emerged and flourished, providing a cathartic sense of closure for Huntley and a new musical beginning for the band:
“Who do we become when we’re alone? When the story is over, and we’ve acknowledged the silence – that’s when the quiet comes.
Making this record was my search to find purpose after Pierce passed. It was a light to show me a way forward. A way for me to grieve, a way for me to hold onto the memories. A eulogy to my friend.
This is the album I always hoped Pierce and I would make together one day. It’s my attempt to continue the dream we had, to take what we had started with our first album to a secret place beyond the club. To make a soundtrack for the moments where everything stands still. A record that could showcase the culmination of every unique influence we shared as friends. A record that could be important enough to outlive us both. A record that I hope would have made him proud.
It’s the hardest I’ve worked on anything in my entire life, and the proudest I’ve ever been of any music I’ve made. If the road for leaving laurel were to end here, I know I gave it my all. I created something with the pieces of what Pierce and I had started, and it feels like the most honest album I could show to the world.”
– Gordon Huntley
A tale of two old friends, Gordon and Pierce, Leaving Laurel connected the duo musically for the first time after being close friends for almost a decade. Since their debut release in 2020, the duo have garnered a fervent fanbase and widespread support. Their recently released EP, ‘fireflies (for as far as we could see)’, received an overwhelmingly warm reception from fans and tastemakers alike, including Black Coffee, Sultan + Shepard and David Hohme, as well as further radio support from BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM.
Release date: 19th May 2023

What Is Music?
Music is the art of sound compiled and expressed following particular emotions and ideas in a significant form. It has melody, harmony and rhythm. It can be played live or using a device.
Production: The ability to create and record music, either on tape or a digital file, is the result of the development of electronic machinery. Its use enables composers to make sounds that would have been impossible to produce with previous technology. It also enables musicians to make changes in harmonic pressure that have an impact on the listener.
Harmony: The way a musical voice or instrument sounds, which is governed by tonal color and its relation to pitch and rhythm. It is organized by phrases (a group of notes that make sense together and express a definite melodic “idea”) and motifs (a short musical idea, shorter than a phrase, that occurs frequently in a piece of music).
Rhythm: The way a musical voice or instrument’s rhythm is articulated, which includes its speed, the degree to which it accelerates or decelerates, how long each note is played or sung, whether it is stressed or unstressed, sudden accent (sforzando) or slurred. Articulation also involves the relative duration of each note in relation to the others.
Artists: The quality of a musician’s performance is determined by how well she or he understands and interprets the melody, harmony, and rhythm in the work she or he is performing. A good interpretation is based on the ability to create a feeling and evoke emotion in the listener.
