SAINT LEONARD RELEASES NEW SINGLE "THE RED BOOK", CO-WRITTEN WITH BRIAN ENO

Musical polymath Saint Leonard has unveiled the new track, The Red Book, which was co-written with Brian Eno.

"A friend invited Brian Eno to my Third Man Records show and sent him my new record The Golden Hour. It transpired that there were some tracks that he (and Lol Hammond) had been working on. They sent one over to me and I really couldn't believe it, the idea of working on a song with Eno was a dream come true," Leonard says of the collaboration.

"I spent several days meditating on the music and delving into the most esoteric recesses of my unconscious, actively engaging my imagination on the potent soundscape they had sent me and then pinching myself very hard, I went into the studio and sang the first thing that came to mind, I sang my heart out, there wasn't a second take, we all just nodded and said, 'Yes, I think that's it' - I am transcendentally delighted, verifiably over the moon about this collaboration, ecstatic and immensely proud of the song."

Saint Leonard releases The Red Book after the Full Moon series of singles that included Tell Me The Truth and Go Give Me Strength and Bells & Ecstasy which were released late 2023. Previously he has has supported Patti Smith, Father John Misty and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and has recorded an album - Good Luck Everybody - at the home of Stanley Kubrick.
