imaginary biographies , the title of the first full-length album from los angeles songwriter leerone , invokes a certain kind of playfulness, a rather robust game of make-believe salted with enough empathy to explore the circumstances, events & emotions that shape character. the individual songs on the album uphold that promise, mixing bits of whimsy - an, at times, almost cabaret style piano arrangement, for instance - with observational storytelling & tales of love realized and thwarted. leerone - care for some whiskey?

Yesterday, I spent the day at the fair with my kids. Yes, the fair is in town. It's really been the exact same fair as when I was but a tot. Even the numbers of carnies having served jail time is pretty much the same. The odours of onion rings and processed sugar are just as overwhelming. The rides still creak uncertain-like. The haunted house still has the same run-down "animatronic" skeletons. It's always nice to know some things don't change. One thing that does change, however, is a week. One [...]

So studies show that polygamy makes you live longer. Turns out if you're a polygamist and are over 60 years old, you're likely to outlive a monogamous person by about 12 per cent. Well, considering that I am all in favour of extending my life cycle, I immediately introduced my plan for longer living to my girlfriend, exposing the pros (cons? what cons?) of expanding our couple to include a second girlfriend. Now, of course, I will spare you all the tiresome morality issues she brought forth, which, in fact, had no place amidst such [...]

I've always been partial to the female persuasion when it comes to music. There's nothing like an angelic voice, or a sultry voice, or a voice that mixes well with a sunset or a spaceship, a Friday night or a Sunday afternoon. A voice that could be singing to you in a lounge or your living room. Several of those wonderful voices have graced this blog over its' tenure, and we are graced by the music presence of another lovely lady, Leerone. Sending her melodies from Los Angeles, her latest release, Imaginary Biographies , will simply send chills through [...]
good early morning to everyone. check out this epic fail from the olympics. if you happen to be a bit squeamish dont check out the last couple pics. nestled somehwere in my top 5, or maybe even top 3 records of the 08 is the war on drugs most excellent wagonwheel blues . i have mentioned this records greatness in the past, but since a new track was made available i figured i would bring em up again. i can almost gaurantee that you will dig this record if you be a fan of the classics like dylan, springsteen, [...]
Fans of Rachael Yamagata and Fiona Apple will certainly enjoy this artist. Combining a beautiful voice with smart clever lyrics, Leerone uses her voice as well as her piano to grab the listeners attention in an instant, and quite frankly, there aren't enough artists like that in music today. Recently releasing a new album, " Imaginary Biographies , Leerone is definitely a musician to keep your eye and expect big things from in the near future. Care For Some Whiskey [...]
If you are a fan of 'indie-folk-rock-feisty' as Leerone herself describes her music then you should be into this. Leerone has already released two EP's and you will be able to find more information on her myspace and website. http://www.Leerone.com/ http://www.Myspace.com/MyNamei sLeerone To Fill The Void - Leerone
Over the course of her inspired career, Leerone has triumphantly upended pop conventions while hewing to the great singer-songwriter traditions of her Los Angeles forebears (think Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman, to name a distinguished few). Now, on the heels of her two independently-produced debut EPs, Leerone delivers her most vivid, most wide-ranging recording to date. Produced and engineered by Christopher Fudurich (Jimmy Eat World, Nada Surf, Matthew Sweet, Fishbone), Imaginary Biographies features 11 original compositions where British pop, classical-tinged balladry, Euro-rock influences and theater sensibilities collide with Leerone's uniquely impressionistic lyrics.

Sometimes I just need to step away from the depressing folk and into a little more uplifting depressing experimental folk. It's always interesting to see how artist classify them selves, she's been described as "mainstream" to the likes of Tori Amos, which if you ask me can't be all that bad. I find LeeRone to be a little bit like a breath of fresh air. She recently sent me her album and I popped it in my car a few days ago. Not only have I not taken it out [...]
No, her name doesn't rhyme with Zamboni. It's Lee (like the jeans) - rone (with a long O sound - as in rhymes with zone). Leerone . And she's absolutely deadly behind the piano. Her first full length album (she released a debut EP back in 2003) is titled Imaginary Biographies , and it's eleven tracks are piano-rich compositions that remind you that the piano is for more than just classical music and Christmas carols. The comparison that instantly sprung to mind upon first hearing the album was with another woman whose career has [...]
