Léo - La Surpuissance

“The Allotments” is a nocturnal return to Sydenham Hill — the place where six boys once climbed a broken fence, shared cheap cider, argued about music and politics, and promised they’d never drift apart. Twenty years later, only five come back.

After the funeral of their friend Marcus, the group climbs the hill again to spread his ashes and rediscover the place that shaped them. The allotments are still there, but changed: the fence has been fixed, the skyline is unrecognisable, the old hut leans like it remembers their names, and the bench now has a quiet partner beside it. There is no guitar on the album, in honour of the one who used to carry his everywhere.

Across twelve tracks, the album moves between present-day grief and 90s flashbacks, blending ambient-folk, soft UK electronica, gospel harmonies, wet-green field recordings, and wordless choruses that feel like voices carried on London’s night air. Memory slips, timelines overlap, and the group slowly realises that what they return to never returns the same.

This is an album about friendship, absence, and the way growing up rearranges the map of a place.
A grey-green elegy for the boys they were, the men they became, and the one who didn’t make it back.

Infinite Youth

H.N.Y.B

Wasting time
Going nowhere
In my mind
I’m alright
To get by
On the way down
Glorified suicide

Now it’s on fire
There’s nowhere left to wander
Soon everyone dies
We’ll never find another
  
Lose your mind
Find a lover
Watch them cry 
Nothings right
Wish I died 
Sometime last year
Hope i find
Dawn tonight

Now it’s on fire
There’s nowhere left to wander
Soon everyone dies
We’ll never find another

Maybe it’ll happen a billion years from now 
When the sun finally burns all it’s hydrogen 
Or maybe it’s only a matter of months until we kill ourselves with nuclear war
Years ago when I was younger 
I didn’t think about how the end would look or sound or feel 
but the way our world and it’s people have seemed to move backwards in thought has pressed this idea up to the front of my skull 
And I’m looking out my window 
A hundred years from now as a member of a future generation 
And what I’m seeing is terrifying

What Happens After

Rager

I picture myself with you
I picture myself with you

Wishing so badly I could be with you
Food in the fridge, stocked up on tissue

Just me, empty journal
Full of demons
I’m sorry
No excuses
Only reasons 

I picture myself with you
I picture myself with you

Here the days keep getting longer
I can’t count on my wrist
Search for meaning,
Don’t know why I exist

April spent me
Now I’m empty
I miss my family
Fuck 2020

Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it

Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
(Long night and I’m ready for it)

With You
