Fans of Bat For Lashes Will Love New Songs from Latest Album “Leave it Behind” by Indie Artist Lee-Leet

I found this artist Lee-Leet that I love – I found her from a track she did for Rock Band. I’m a big fan of Within Temptation, PJ Harvey and Bat for Lashes and those kind of bands which are similar to her sound. Her newest album, which came out in November, is called "Leave it Behind". You can preview the album here

Her music is a form of art rock, with progressive and avant-garde influences. In her lyrics, she talks about emotions, difficult relationships, love, spirituality, metaphysics, disappointment, hope and the quest for the intangible. Lee-Leet is for people who are seeking transcendence in art and who are interested in sharing the emotional experience it conveys.

Lee-Leet is an example of how independent artists can reach out to their audiences through the Internet, thus bypassing record labels. As an example, fans all over the world financed her current European tour via SellaBand music website.

Oh, and BTW, the title song made it to the No. 3 spot on the Polish rock charts at Antyradio in its first week. Check out the video for the title track here
As a result, Lee-Leet was pointed out in a press article, arguing that the era of major record labels is over, and the onset of a new era, in which independent artists reach out to their audience through the Internet, is happening presently.
