Leucosia

Computer Music magazine - review of 'Mirador', April 07: "the structure is highly complex and, on the whole, successful. It's very dynamic and the drops are always welcome (and) the chorus is a great musical section... The vocal is really strong (and) the production is good in terms of arrangement."
Caravan Music: "Leucosia have a unique sound, and are very well produced... we agree there is a gap in the market now for your sound"

Biog: Leucosia began in 1999 as a solo studio project of Dans. Having been drumming in bands since the tender age of 6 or 7 his attention turned to guitar and the new possibilities of home recording. With influences in rock, classical and electronic based music he began experimenting with style crossovers, refining the sound whilst improving the writing, recording and production aspects.
Once enough songs had been written a band was formed, bringing vocals to the music for the first time. Problems of replicating the electronic and orchestrated side of the music live along with personal differences meant the band fell apart. Dan however continued to write, concentrating on studio rather than live work, and eventually found a suitable vocalist to work with. In 2005, Laura Anya joined Dan and Leucosia in it's current form was born.
Leucosia is now focused on producing an album worth of tracks to a high standard with the aim of gaining record company interest and building a fan base both locally and on a wider scale via the internet.Leucosia is also rehearsing with the live band lineup, and have begun playing local venues with the aim of playing London within the next year or so. The live band is:
Laura Anya - Vocals
Dan Whidden - Guitar / Keyboards / FX
Albie McMahon - Guitar
Stuart Grant - Bass
TBC - Drums
