I spit In frustration of the debt I'm in And the only way to get out Well I really don't know That's it This is the only way to question it And the only way to get out Well I really don't know There's a man outside my window It's not real, the way it looks to you A suspension of my frame of mind But it's not real The way it looks to me That's it This is the only way to question That's it, a long and lonesome Line to toe, line to toe There's a man outside my window It's not real, the way it looks to you A suspension of my frame of mind But it's not real The way it feels

Like A Shout 02:47
You look to the side to See what I can do 'Cuz when I'm feeling pale, you always bail me out I look to the yard, who's coming In through the trees, who's running in 'Cuz when I'm feeling blue, you always come on through Like a shout But not that loud In the morning I hear crying I know it's true, what you're going through Get used to something new I lean on my love, on my love For what I can do 'Cuz when I'm feeling blue, you always come on through I look to the yard, who's running in Through the side, who's coming Cuz when I'm feeling pale, you always bail me out Like a shout But not that loud In the morning I hear crying I know it's true, what you're going through Get used to something new In the morning I'm not sighing I know it's true, what you're going through Get used to something new

Life forms always say There's no possible way All in all attest To defeatist sway But all of the poison leaking out of the sea It just so happens to be good for me But I can't realize With my eyes pointed to the sky And we can't speak too soon Roll our eyes back at the moon And come down much too soon Life forms always say There's no possible way All in all attest To defeatist sway But all of the poison leaking out of the sea It just so happens to be good for me But I can't realize With my eyes pointed to the sky And we can't speak too soon Roll our eyes back at the moon And I know things are heavy and it's gonna feel empty for now, Pretty soon there will be plenty but it's gonna feel empty for now

All Things 04:36
Lot's going on Ready for the raining The weekend's come and gone, but I guess I'll stop complaining now And it's do stuff, do stuff always entertaining The world's moving on, but my energy is draining now Lot's going on Ready for the raining The weekend's come and gone, but I guess I'll stop complaining now And it's do stuff, do stuff always entertaining The world's moving on, but my energy is draining now It's all right now What's going to happen Get over All things try It's alright now It's going nowhere Fall over All things try It's all right now What's going to happen Bet over Always try It's alright now It's going nowhere Fall over All things try

about

The Leak began with the collaboration of songwriter Taylor Clark (Great Spiders, Anthers), and guitarist Sam Peterson (Whitney Ballen, Drench Fries, Hibou, Don Piano). The two workshopped Clark’s early songs in a short-lived band and released a set of home recordings. In 2022, the band reformed with drummer Niko Wood (Shake the Baby Til the Love Comes Out, Big Scary Indian, Yr Parents), incorporating rhythms influenced by Wood’s hardcore and punk background. Engineer and producer Dylan Wall (Craft Spells, Great Grandpa, So Pitted, Weed), joined on bass and began planning a record.

To make The Leak, the band hit the studio and blazed through the songs in one day, recording live to cassette. A couple evening vocal sessions and it was done, with Clark putting his spin on a timeless refrain - pinched by debt, underpaid and stuck in a rut, soaking up rays like a weed in the sun.
