Leopardo: SIDE A / SIDE B 12"

"Leopardo, the well-mannered and quirky Swiss group from Fribourg, are back once again with SIDE A / SIDE B, an album that invites the world into their jagged and naïve psych-pop and electrified tape experiments that undercuts conventions and create a scanty, but vivid compendium of absurdity, delicacy, and humor, à la The Velvets, Slapp Happy, Desperate Bicycles, and the Performing Ferret Band. While 2021’s Malcantone displayed sketches of a group in progress and 2023’s full-length was a somewhat “best of” solo recordings from bandleader Romain Savary, Side A / Side B seems to identify a new chapter of the group’s knowingly charming perfect unpop with a fully observant long-term trajectory and naïve spirit that makes humanity more believable."—Joe Massaro, Hot Sounds
