Grant thumbnail
Grant Leppin's solo debut is a haunting marriage of ambient textural loops and mellifluous chamber pop songwriting. Echoes of Eno, Deradoorian, Lisa Gerrard, Zoë Keating, Julia Kent, Cynthia Dall, Sarah Neufeld, Kaki King's ...UNTIL WE FELT RED, and a touch of 3rd And The Mortal's IN THIS ROOM. Favorite track: Cast in Gold.

Camryn Marquez I love the textures and moods that this album creates and can establish. This is a very insular and introspective release. That is not to say, though, that this release is nihilistic or depressing in tone and should be reserved for bad moods or rainy days. I find this music has an ethereal and beautiful quality to it that is life-affirming and warm. Favorite track: Belly of the Beast.

Thank you to my heart Anthony Pirog for being the first person who believed in me as an artist and composer, my mother and father Walter and Jane Leppin for their undying love and support, Mike Reina for the absolute magic, Addy Smith for her rad work and friendship, Susan Alcorn for her friendship and for loaning me her Buddy Emmons Pedal Steel nicknamed "Smoke and Ashes", Eyvind Kang and Jessika Kenney for encouraging me to make my own music and to start seriously singing and to Randall Dunn for his great help and advice in getting this record out.

Namesake is dedicated to Jane Leppin
