Adult Leisure returns with emotionally charged new single ‘Borderline’
Alt-indie four-piece out of Bristol, Adult Leisure, have released their first new music of 2024.
Recorded and mixed with Ollie Searle at Humm Studios and mastered by John Webber (known for his work with David Bowie and Duran Duran), ‘Borderline’ is a sonic continuation of the textures and rhythms the band established in their 2023 EP, Present State of Joy and Grief. The track is characterized by rich melodies, radiant synths, and explosive drums, all of which complement Neil Scott’s anguished vocals. Thematically, the song dives deep into the complexities of hindsight and the lingering emotions that follow a breakup.
Reflecting on the single the band explains:
“Dave had sent through a Police-y style demo back last April (2023) and we knew we wanted this to be the next release after our second EP, it felt like a continuation of our sound.
“‘Borderline’ was inspired by the break-up of a long-term relationship around that time for Neil and the feeling of hindsight in the months following it. We always try to write from a personal perspective, however, these feelings are so common amongst people that there’s a strange balance of the situation being incredibly personal yet not alone. We allowed ourselves more time in the recording process to try new things and develop our sound, and with thanks to our producer Ollie, we feel it’s sonically our best song to date.”
‘Borderline’ is out now.
