Leopold and His Fiction - Darling Destroyer (2017)

Leopold and His Fiction are a rock band based in Austin, TX. The name comes from an uncompleted novel by frontman Daniel James; his songs are a melodic telling from the written endeavors of his youth. The fourth full-length from Leopold and His Fiction - Darling Destroyer (which now features Alexander "Z" Lynch on bass and vocals, Jeremy Holmsley on keyboards and vocals, and Mark Henne on drums), echoes that urgency with a savage yet soulful sound testifying to James' Detroit heritage. Throughout Darling Destroyer, Leopold and His Fiction reveal their gritty ingenuity by merging delicately crafted lyrics with blistering guitar work.
