The ferocity of the gaunt, hungry wolf... LeanWolf has found his spirit animal.
On a debut EP released in 2021, the young guitar hero with impressive fluidity embraced the legacy of electric blues masters (Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore), stamping it with his unique signature, a wild and refined touch.
« Beyond the aesthetic appeal, which I find stunning, I’ve never experienced such comfort as I have with BG straps. For my back issues (scoliosis), they are perfect! »
With Limbo, recorded at the Mirador Sound Studio in Corconne, LeanWolf aims for a more organic, live approach, while opening up to broader aesthetic horizons (soul, rock, jazz), evoking the vast landscapes that his songs conjure, in the iconoclastic wake of Marcus King and Tedeschi Trucks Band. By shattering the confines of the blues genre, LeanWolf showcases the full spectrum of his emotions and reveals a writing style of great rigor.
« BG straps bring me exceptional comfort that I can't find anywhere else, and it's the perfect accessory that enhances all of my guitars »
Above all, he stands out as a singer of remarkable expressiveness, with a soul-infused voice, liberated from the need to hide behind guitar virtuosity that no longer requires proof. A true masterpiece!
LEANWOLF – Limbo
From incendiary blues rock to stormy ballads, from fiery anthems to epic choruses, the path to the light that LeanWolf invites us to follow unfolds over six meticulously crafted tracks. The organic production by David Darmon (Mirador Sound Studio) reflects the quartet's power and precision, revealing the songwriting prowess of its leader. Here, LeanWolf fully embraces the soulful expressiveness of a voice that peaks emotionally on a beautiful acoustic conclusion, heralding a long and promising journey filled with delightful surprises!
LEANWOLF – Frustration
With aggressive guitar riffs and staccato rhythms, a powerful groove, steamy organ, and a possessed vocal delivery, Frustration showcases LeanWolf’s masterful craft and serves as the perfect gateway between darkness and light, bridging the nuances and contrasts of Limbo, his second EP that sweeps across the Midwest plains with the speed of a time-lapse. Foot to the floor, the track transitions from gritty funk blues to a turbulent swing interlude, before exploding into a chorus bathed in a bright pop glow. A burst of energy to kickstart (literally) your day!
