Description
Produced by Chris Cohen and recorded in a rented house in Portland, the folk songs of Leftovers have a sweet, homey ease that will make you return to them again and again. Across the album, an acoustic guitar is leisurely plucked or strummed and the additional instrumentation — pedal steel, cello, banjo, fiddle, and more — is akin to a warm breeze blowing through an open window. Lyrically, meanwhile, each song overflows with striking emotions.
Le Ren’s debut album Leftovers is perfect autumnal soft folk rock. In its warmth and its sincerity, it shows a testament to the undying nature of love, even in its different manifestations over time. From tracing the relationship she shares with her mother to failed romantic partners to her friendships, Le Ren creates a kaleidoscope of emotions, all fitting beautifully in a representation of the need for connection.
