About Me



Mr. Leary is a Danish ambient duo. They released their debut album ‘Patterns’ in 2009 after a series of online EP’s.

They have often (especially in their more turbulent/live material) been seen to use alternative ways of seemingly coming closer to their some times extremely hectic, yet surprisingly controlled sound.
Worth mentioning are - among others- vacuum-cleaners, which with special technique, have been used to produce a sound reminiscent of a Didgeridoo. All this is sent through dense live signal processing (a process likely inherited from their shoe-gaze history) and made sense/nonsense of, with further digital layering.

Live-collaborations with other local artists have occurred (Among others, members of Ã…rhus/Copenhagen-based Shiggajon), but the duo seem to try and stick to their own visions in general.
