You might not yet have heard Left Field Messiah play, but you’re probably familiar with its parts. The band – featuring Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat), Erik Janson (Wildling), and Jeremy Ruzumma (Fitz and The Tantrums) recently conjured up a slinky beauty titled “Left Field Messiah” that covers the blue-eyed soul alt pop spectrum ala Hall & Oates, Mark Ronson, and Tame Impala. Check out the video below…
“Young Libertine” covers everything from Oscar Wilde to The Rapture. We wrote it staring at a volcano covered in snow, dreaming of hot lava. “Young Libertine” was an important moment for us because we landed on a new shade of LFM blue, combining early 90s hip hop tones and soul dance melodies splashed with some nice 80s pop moments. This is a song of firsts—rhyming libertine with figurine and x-ray machine with screen—and while our productions have been referred to as “maximalist”, this is one of our more restrained moments,” says the band.
