About The Leather Lemon by P.E.

P.E. 's sophomore album, The Leather Lemon (Wharf Cat Records, out March 25, 2022), ushers in a new era for the New York band. A wild ride through chewy bubblegum pop, sweeping synthetic orchestrations, and mutant club beats, the album slides ever closer to the fully-realized pop sensibility only winked at with their debut album Person (2020) and subsequent releases. 

Digging into mystery, romance, and sex appeal with The Leather Lemon, the group — composed of members of Pill (Mexican Summer) and Eaters (Dull Tools) — centers its sound within a Bermuda Triangle of dance music, electronic composition, and experimental rock. Members Jonathan Schenke, Bob Jones, and Jonny Campolo play  within pop parameters, building upon free-form collaboration to create a fluorescent groove machine that harnesses the energy of their frenetic live shows. Singer Veronica Torres explores her softer side, expanding her vocal repertoire from spoken word and jagged growls to cherubic and sensuous psalms. Sax virtuoso Benjamin Jaffe’s chiseled experimental tone is heard in an extended solo of true romance in “Tears in the Rain,” a somber surrealist duet penned by Torres and Andrew Savage, singer/guitarist of Parquet Courts. 

Recorded primarily at Schenke’s Studio Windows in Brooklyn, NY, The Leather Lemon was cultivated from a fertile creative period between spring 2020 and summer 2021, which also yielded 2021’s acclaimed The Reason For My Love EP. Pitchfork writes: 
	
	The quintet refines their impulses on their 2020 debut Person and transforms them into a body-moving EP. The jittery electronics are still there, but the drum cuts feel sharper and lighter, bringing a sense of structure to what could easily be shapeless. Vocalist Veronica Torres abandons spoken-word and leans fully into singing about poetry, beauty, and the contours of the body. Her lovely vocal stretches fill up the space once occupied by industrial bass drops. Sensuality suits them well.

The Leather Lemon is a reckoning record for the times; an album of psychedelic resurfacing, real-time response to world events, and soft, sympathetic magic. This is a collection of songs shaped by five individuals who embrace music-making as a way to center themselves in times of uncertainty; it’s resilience and imagination given shape. The Leather Lemon is a true sweet-and-sour listening experience, an album as bright and clear as it is fractured and fun. Get turned UP and ON with the electrifying new lemon drop from P.E.! 

P.E. is: Jonny Campolo (piano, synths, bass, percussion, voice), Benjamin Jaffe (saxophone, synths, voice), Bob Jones (beats, samples, synths, bass, voice), Jonathan Schenke (synths, beats, bass, percussion, voice), Veronica Torres (voice, lyrics). 

Produced, Edited, Mixed and Mastered by Jonathan Schenke at Studio Windows. Additional production by Bob Jones at Zo City Studios. Written in-person and in-quarantine by P.E. between Studio Windows (NY), Zo City Studios (NY), and Gray House MPLS (MN) 2020-2021.

////////////////

I didn’t wanna freak you out, freak you out
Look what they started, blue knees curbing down on all our hope

The honey croons on Crescent Street
This wine feels rather weak
The proof is on the pavement 
And wire hung shoes
A life-vest breach, they decided 

Sweet old intrigue, the shipwrecked dreams 
Of modern kids
Are we too late?

I didn’t wanna freak you out, freak you out
Look what they started, blue knees curbing down on all our hope
But I was gonna stay home tonight
How could I?

Something wrong? Cause     
We don’t need a John Wayne
To save the day
Throw your dated views away

The same unknowns we keep on chasing 
Left foot, left foot racing
Our eyes close before the lens
Face you hear behind the scream 
Are we too late? 

I didn’t wanna freak you out, freak you out
Look what they started, blue knees curbing down on all our hope

Achilles Heel
And we all know the deal  
Sick what it reveals  
The same treatment as Bobby Seale
Just on newer wheels
Down on three-eight
But now are we too late? 
A window seat 
The government cheese
From some federal suite
Dry martinis on charming streets
But I was gonna stay home tonight
How could I?

Window Seat (Freak You Out)

From the upcoming album "We Weren't Here" (09.24.2021 - Sonic Ritual)

Isla

New single from Vero. Taken from their debut LP "Unsoothing Interior" out May 6 2022 via PNKSLM Recordings. Listen/buy: https://pnkslm.com/vero-lp

On their bold and brilliant debut album 'Unsoothing Interior', Stockholm's Vero reflect the nature of life itself. Their songs prioritise feeling over perfectionism ' what feels, or sounds, best ' creating a record that tumbles through its contents with a sense of unpredictability, excitement and curiosity. It's an album full of raw guitar riffs that spin and swirl and fizz, and evoke the spirit of artists like Sonic Youth, Garbage and Pixies. 

The record, out May 6th via PNKSLM Recordings (ShitKid, Les Big Byrd, Holy etc.), is a document of the three musicians' own experiences, injected with a natural urgency that comes from both the reality in the songs and writing and recording them in a studio paid for by the hour. For its listeners, it acts less as a roadmap through the turbulence and more as a confidante to share the highs and lows, drama and desire with, encompassing everything from sex, friendship and figuring out exactly who you are.

LYRICS
Yeah I feel it in my bones 
And I find it through my home 
I see it in my dreams 
Like a whisper spoke to me 

Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you all the time 

Yeah I feel it in my bones 
Like the lines you carve for me 
And it moves right through my skin 
I can hear it in the breeze 

Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you all the time

7 Foot Tall Post-Suicidal Feel Good Blues

I think most people have gone through at least one breakup or had a friendship end that pretty much wrecked them for a little while. ‘Ok Ok Ok’ is about going to a party and being hyper-aware of that other person’s presence. It’s about trying to overcome discomfort but in the process overcompensating and being (maybe just a little) petty. It’s about that desire to prove to that other person, and to yourself, that you’re okay when maybe the truth is, you’re not. We were lucky enough to record and mix this and album with producer, Andrija Tokic at The Bomb Shelter studio in Nashville. Mastered by the legendary Heba Kadry.

Don't Talk to Me

Ok Ok Ok

From the EP Mirror Image Twins (May 7, 2021)

Lyrics:
you can’t see the invisible sigh
from a blanket of mites in a bed that can die
and while you wallowed the perverted news 
they closed down the bars and the temperature hit you

as this world keeps giving time
you paused and breathed the great divide
you washed away your faith
your feet at rest, your mind a race

he saw the mountain covered in the fog
let us meet at the top where the people won't see us
as you lay your body on a bed of grass. 
let me touch your face, let me hold your hand

as the world keeps giving time
you paused and breathed the great divide
you washed away your faith
your feet at rest you mind a race

Vero - "Cupid"
