Straying away from the big riffs of her band The Superjesus, Sarah McLeod has announced a new, softer direction for her solo EP.
Due to be released on October 28th, the EP titled ‘96% Love Songbook Part 1’ features the first single ‘Scout’s Honour’ which will be release on October 21st. It marks a new direction for McLeod who has decided to take a softer approach and release an EP of love songs. It is a nod to music from the ’50s and ’60s that she grew up with.
“This style of music has always been my foundation, however in the 90’s I pushed it very firmly aside in order to focus on my ‘grunge’ phase. I never confessed to anyone that my tastes were living in the past, but now I feel I have come full circle and it’s ok for me to just write what comes naturally” said McLeod.
The EP was written entirely by Sarah McLeod, co-produced by her bandmate Stu Hunter (Buffalo Tales, Leroy Lee) and mastered by the Grammy winning William Bowden (Gotye). As an interesting addition to the EP, McLeod has also include a songbook with all of the lyrics and chord changes, for those playing along at home.
To coincide with the EP release, McLeod will embark on a 16 stop National tour that covers most of the country. Check her website for further details: http://www.sarahmcleod.com.au/
Sarah Mcleod will premiere ‘Scout’s Honour’ on Network Seven’s, The Morning Show on September 27th.
