Leprous Vocalist and Keyboardist Einar Solberg Comments On The Upcoming Album

“We’re incredibly proud to announce ‘Pitfalls’! It’s the album no-one is expecting from Leprous. When you think you know where it’s headed, you’ll realize that you’re wrong. It’s not only by far the biggest production and musical departure we’ve done, but the also most personal and honest. The album has been written through one of my toughest years, where I struggled with depression and anxiety. No filters, no metaphors, just the truth. They say that writing music is therapeutic. but I would say that it’s an understatement. For me ‘Pitfalls’ is the result of of learning how to get through the dark tunnel. The music has been my torch.”
