LEIF VOLLEBEKK RELEASES NEW SINGLE “APALACHEE PLAIN” WITH GUEST VOCALS BY ANGIE MCMAHON
NEW WAYS OUT NOW VIA SECRET CITY RECORDS
Leif Vollebekk wrote his song “Apalachee Plain” in one sitting but it took many different forms until he nailed the perfect feel – a shimmering country song in 6/8. The stunning New Ways album closer now has a video, unveiled today. It captures Leif, glazed with rain, and a sprawling Icelandic landscape in black and white. “Apalachee Plain” was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood and includes vocals from Australian singer-songwriter Angie McMahon and legendary pedal steel played Cindy Cashdollar.
“A few years ago I was driving through the painted desert and saw a lone mustang running alongside the road. He looked so free. And he seemed to know everything. That image came back to me when I wrote it,” says Leif.
Leif has had a big year on the heels of New Ways. In the past month alone he’s sold out Le National album-launch show in Montreal, two nights in Toronto at the Mod Club, his biggest U.S. shows ever in NYC (Bowery Ballroom) and Los Angeles (Troubadour) during a sold out U.S. run which included dates in Seatlle, Portland, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and more. He will be back in the U.S. in March for SXSW in Austin, Texas.
