Should we just turn this whole french babe thing into a series? Geez. His name is Leif Vollbekk, (seriously?) and he is absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful and plays the kind of soulful folk that captivates listeners. After a few listens I drew comparisons with Jeff Buckley, The Tallest Man On Earth, Fionn Regan and Damien Rice. His LP ‘Inland’ that was released back in January via Nevado Records is acoustically-driven, rich in narratives and elegant vocals. I admittedly can’t handle it when he starts singing in French. Yes, I still have imaginary crushes that will never come into fruition, so what? He is an absolute delight to listen to, you must pick up this album.
