Leon of Athens unveils ‘Utopia’ lyric video
The video features live and behind-the-scenes footage, filmed during his sold out European tour, including his headline show at London’s Hoxton Bar & Kitchen. A collage of uplifting crowd shots and energetic footage of the band on and off stage, the video compliments the melancholic electronics and jubilant chorus of Utopia. Watch it below!
The album Xenos is a beautiful, thoughtful piece of work,
informed by the refugee crisis, the rise of fascist groups in Europe and
Brexit, but also personal upheavals: fractured relationships and death
in the family.
From the uplifting indie-pop of previous singles Aeroplane and Fire Inside You, to the dark creeping electronics of the title track and Serpents Egg, Leon Of Athens proves himself an intriguing and exciting force. There are delicate moments on the stark piano led ballads of Letters To My Father and Final Moment, while the album closes with the joyous ode to his favourite place in the world Corfu.
