Band from Saint Paul, Minnesota fronted by Drew Forsberg that know what they want and know how to get it as the man said a long time ago. More hooks than a fishing convention. Every song on their second album Electrical Living draws you deeper into their pop vortex.
The songs find like the missing link between Guided by Voices and The Smiths with Forsberg embodying the Morrissey role with poised elan. Each song on Electrical Living sounds better than the last. Tick tock precision. It's just a pleasure to come across a band so utterly in charge of quality control.
This could probably be called Power Pop but such a label would be reductive because Persian Leaps have such a relentless grip on melody and tension. An immaculate set of songs that flirt between the two and three minute marks. It all sounds like wonderful fun too!
