“If the moon doesn’t show, then the sun doesn’t know what to think,” fishhooks your ear and reels you into the patient guitar strum of Leapling‘s new single. This song forays into the honest existential crisis of creating your own way in life, but does so confidently with the hushing downbeat of the arresting drums. The song, though weaving through the seemingly impossible journey of finding your way even if “the stars never show,” hums beautifully. It makes you believe that creating the song revealed the next step for this band as they forged their own path.

“Crooked” is the first single off the band’s debut LP Vacant Page, out February 10th via Exploding in Sound and Inflated Records.
