Gloomy Room

Greenhouse is Leonian Dream's second Single from their upcoming debut EP "Gloomy Room" which will be released later this year. In contrast to their debut Single Gloomy Room, Greenhouse has a rock summer - vibe kinda feel to it. 
'Leonian Dream's latest release 'Greenhouse' battles feelings of anxiety and escapism against the freedoms of optimism within an ever changing world.  Sometimes convincing yourself that the grass is always greener...'

Dear White West Country People

The Where Are You Really From? Podcast explores the experience of people of African, Asian, mixed and other ethnically diverse heritage in the rural UK.  It asks, how does it feel to be one of the few black or brown faces in a white rural landscape? And how does this impact on a person's sense of self and well-being?
