Simen: Is usually like, people know your songs from the previous releases best… Robin: Thank you! Well, there will always be those people saying like “Oh, we like the old stuffs more“ and those voices are usually very “loud“ on the internet sometimes and you can fool yourself thinking that’s what people feel about it, but now that we go out and play, people already know the lyrics and we get a great response on the new songs, I think it also added a new dynamic on our live sets, it does not have to be full blast all the time, you know we have these transitions and some parts of the show that are bit more melo and we feel that people are more engaged. Congrats for this album! First of all, what is the crowd response to the songs during the shows? I’ve no idea how to describe this, it’s an amazing album, I had to listen to it many times to convince myself is worth adding Pitfalls on my top 2019 favorite albums, so I did. Oh, that’s crazy! But the new album, Pitfalls. Robin: I think we had like 6 hours of sleep in 3 days. Simen: We’re on a tour bus, but we did 2 flying shows in Istanbul and Tel Aviv and then we flew to Athens to meet the normal production with the bus and that was like a test you know, because we are all too tired…

Robin: Tour is going great! Been a lot of good shows, everyone is in a good spirit, great bands, great crew. Simen: Very good show, probably my favorite show from this tour so far, we connected good with the crowd, they were very engaged and that makes a good show for me.Īgain on the road over Europe along Maraton and Klone, then the tour is going great!

You have been to Athens last night, how was the show there? Robin: Yeah, is good to be here, out of the bus. More, the two have talked about Massive Attack’s cover of “Angel“, working with visual artist Costin Chioreanu and many more. Before the show in Bucharest on February 17th, I had the pleasure to have a chat with Simen (bass) and Robin (guitar) of Leprous about the new album Pitfalls: the theme, the cover, the elements.
