Friend of a friend
Released 2006-12-04 on Tomt recordings (TOMTCD03)
"Keep it together now, it's gonna be ok, keep it together now, that's the
only way". This seems like a justified appeal since the album has taken
three years to finalize. Leopold have used the time and struggle to
create yet another beautiful album.
The 2003 debut album, Dreaming is for anyone, was described as one
of the most beautiful albums of the century (Parasol Records). If that
album was boy room ponderings softly spoken over a pot of tea, then Friend
of a friend is the soundtrack of the journey away from that.

The beautiful melancholy from the debut is still present, but on Friend
of a friend Leopold expresses a wider range of emotions. With personal
lyrics and a sound based on epic indie pop, this album will attract fans of
Mojave 3, Wilco, Badly Drawn Boy, Lambchop, Belle & Sebastian and Mercury
Rev.

"...det avslutande spåret kommer alldeles för tidigt, men det är en strålande final som glittrar fint i jul."

Viveca Bladh, G-P
"The song Work with all of it's latent insecurities and jaunty yet plush indie pop sound would be a ringer if the right people could hear it."

Craig Bonnell, Swedesplease
"På sin andra fullängdare låter de inte alls olikt Belle & Sebastian i sin bästa period, men mer storslaget."
