Album Review: Kiran Leonard - Grapefruit

Through Grapefruit Kiran Leonard shows that at 20 he is brave enough to throw lots of influences into the mix. Leonard is comfortable enough for his music to be rough and at times awkward, and he is talented enough to pull it off.

Not convinced? Check out the broken anti-folk and blasted stagger of Ondor Gongor, the pagan chamber-pop of Caiaphas In Fetters, the Kevin Drew-Panda Bear mania of Don't Make Friends With Good People, or Pink Fruit, a 16-minute mash-up of punk, noise, slanted pop and cracked euphoria.
