AA Legrand presents fantastic debut EP

Berlin-based Simon Leoth is better known by his musical alias: AA-Legrand. In 2019, he decided it was time to take the plunge and generate his own material, having already spent several years navigating Berlin’s indie-folk scene, performing in several live acts such as The New Madness andSamuel Breuer, as well as recording for artists like Alice Rose, Roemer, and many more.

With nothing more than a laptop and borrowed equipment from friends, he began experimenting with sounds in his bedroom and discovered a new and exciting auditory world. In light of his huge enjoyment and innate talent for musical production, his bedroom hobby quickly became a far more serious endeavour, and Leoth produced and mixed the three tracks that comprise his debut EP, Pacific.

In the May of 2019, he began recording the final version of his second single: “Shade of a Giant”, further to which everything seemed to musically click for him. Subsequently, he carefully surveyed the acoustic landscape underneath him and charted off on a musical trajectory that would set him sail for a life of musical success. Pacific EP is a three-song debut produced solely by AA-Legrand, mastered by Edgar Alvis, and with additional contributions from Alexandra Gheorghe and Felix Densing.

The EP draws upon Leoth’s musical beginnings in the indie-folk sector, expertly adopting a classical type of sound from his musical, genre-sake influences Bon Iver and Novo Amor, but whilst also enriching it with a touch of electronic modernisation from the influences of James Blake and Apparat, in order to present its listeners with a fantastic piece of work that demonstrates an artist on the top of his game in a musical genre that he knows better than most.
