On 13th April The Leisure Society will release their fourth album The Fine Art of Hanging via Full Time Hobby, which is wonderful news from a band who remain very close to our heart.

Nick Hemming’s touchstone of personal and honest lyrics remain and the forthcoming single 'Tall Black Cabins' can be heard below.

Of the single Nick said, "I took a visit to Hastings and I noticed several tall black cabins - these structures are used by local fishermen for drying their nets. Theirs is a small and shrinking industry, but they have a passion for their trade and keep it going, even though it's not always financially viable. We recorded the album onto analogue tape at Konk studios and mastered it at Abbey Road Studios. We wanted to make the best record we could, so despite the expense we crafted it in this way - not for money, but for the love of making it."

As for the album title  'The Fine Art Of Hanging On is a recurrent, linking theme, although this wasn't an intentional concept album," explains Nick. "It's about clinging to something - be that a relationship, a career, or life itself."

 "All the way through writing the album a friend of mine was battling cancer. I reached out by sending him the rough demos. By giving him this access to the work in progress and by him giving feedback, we formed a close bond. Sadly he lost his battle, but his input and presence is there in the album."
