THE SKYGREEN LEOPARDS’ Gorgeous Johnny LP Now Available, August Tour
Posted: July 21st, 2009 by LegacyTHE SKYGREEN LEOPARDS’ latest longplayer, Gorgeous Johnny, is now available in both CD and LP formats at your local independent record stores and through mail order HERE. Go get you some.
In a recent, glowing review of Gorgeous Johnny, esteemed music site Dusted said this of the album: “With Gorgeous Johnny, avant-pop, folk, improv etc artists Donaldson and Quinn similarly light down in an imagined reconstruction – this time, of fey ’60s baroque – which, given how hampered underground discourse is by its language of unexamined extremity and drone/noise redundancy, feels pretty wilfully contrary, in a welcome way. But most importantly, all of the songs here are strong enough to be bolstered (rather than swamped) by their rococo touches and period piece flourishes.”
To celebrate its release, the Leopards’ Donovan Quinn and Glenn Donaldson will be on a North American tour in August, playing with the likes of Woods and Outrageous Cherry. The tour is still taking form, but the most up-to-date list of Skygreen Leopards dates can be found HERE.
