The U.S. Girls and Stars songwriters talk tape, intuition, and the unexpected magic of slowing down ahead of their respective new releases.
On Ultraviolet, Leathers delivers a mesmerizing nocturnal odyssey, blending lush synth textures, moody melodies, and cinematic storytelling. Fronted by Shannon Hemmett, known for her work with Vancouver’s ACTORS, she explores themes of transformation, fluidity, and self-expression.
Ultraviolet is a soundtrack for midnight drives and city lights shimmering on restless waters. Drawing on influences like Depeche Mode, Cocteau Twins, and the visual aesthetics of Bowie and Annie Lennox, Leathers crafts a soundscape as vivid as it is timeless.
