Leyden Jars

London based duo who debuted with a triptych of albums for the unimpeachable Mordant Music through 2016-2017. Followed by a fourth on the singular Outer Reaches (2020) and were part of the Cafe Oto Takuroku digital series. Their latest album 'forgeries' was released in early 2023. " This is one for late nights and misty mornings....musique concrete, haunted folk and some dub attitude" (Rewind Forward).

Beginning as a dare, live shows became central to their way of working. Outings included an inaugural performance in Paris, support for Tropa Macaca and Echtoplasm Girls. Their sound is based on electronics that breathe! Incorporating sonic place, sonic space and all manner of sound makers. "Dank!!" (Jackson Burton).

They have recently set up the Goods Outward label with no set of rules, more a set of possibilities. Mysteries, histories and curiosities. The first GO release by Jim Edgar Morgan (At home with the Boyle Family dir. Stuart Heaney & Chris De Selincourt 2022) is the soundtrack to an art film documentary about the birth of the psychedelic liquid lightshows.

Leyden Jars have recently enjoyed some swims in the sea and are very relaxed....
