He was part of the last post, and has made several appearances under various guises, Adultnapper, Lightbluemover, and now under his own name: Francis Harris. His first LP under his given name and to say it's stunning is both a disservice and a huge understatement. On top of being lauded as one of the best albums of 2011 by several media sources, Leland has also(so far) spawned 3 remix EPs. The live instrumentation, and fairly melancholic tone to the whole album is so haunting that its bound to get you thinking. Personally, I love stuff like this; Its dark, its deep, its emotional.. and even sexy in parts. The vocals on Lostfound are like something I don't think I have ever heard. I found it difficult to settle on two favourites, but trust me.. you're going to want the whole album. Put it on while you're reading before bed, or maybe even if you're doing something else in bed! And when you realize the scope of the work this guy produces.. I'm going to go as far as to put him in Nicholas Jaar territory. Big praise from me. He has an ear and a feel for so much.
