Picture My Reaction

In 1974, noted producer Norman Lear attempted to branch out from comedy by adapting the hit movie "High Plains Drifter" for television. His family-friendly version would have more heart and less spaghetti than the original. Each week, the titular mysterious drifter passed through another town on the High Plains, where he taught residents valuable lessons about life and love. Sadly, the pilot was rejected, but the theme song (written by Mike Post) lives on as a testament to the men and women who tamed the West.

“'See Me Unaware'… favors the Leaps’ full, satisfying guitar work, but all of the elements are in top form here, making for a charmingly pleasant three minutes of breezy indie rock.” - MAGNET Magazine

“…truncated treatises in big-guitar post-punk power-pop… [The Persian Leaps have] got the goods again in spades.” - The Big Takeover

“The Persian Leaps sound like they’ve heard more than a few of the great British indie records of the ’80s and ’90s. The silky fuzz and solid hooks of tracks like 'Sleepless' echo The Smiths, Orange Juice and Teenage Fanclub with great enthusiasm, and they never fail to recreate that celestial guitar jangle.” — NME Magazine

“Think about huge riffs echoing through your speakers, melodious vocals and the sort of pop sensibility we’ve come to expect from bands like Nada Surf.” - Austin Town Hall

“This Twin Cities outfit is another in a long lineage of straightforward rock & roll. With an additional layer of harmonic power pop spread over the top, The Persian Leaps have neatly distinguished themselves from their hometown heroes.” - Another Dying Artform

“[T]he Persian Leaps’ power pop will remind you of the more muscular sounds of Teenage Fanclub, Guided By Voices and Matthew Sweet, but also the ironic vocal style of ’80s and ’90s post-punk bands.” - Hyperbolium
