NEW SINGLE ‘CRASH’

Available now ⚡️

ABOUT

LEATHERS is the electro-pop project of Canadian musician and visual artist, Shannon Hemmett (also the keyboardist of acclaimed Vancouver post punk band ACTORS).

After teasing audiences with a collection of stylish singles, Hemmett signed a worldwide album deal with Toronto-based Artoffact Records in 2020. Her Reckless EP compiling these tracks, amassed a loyal cult following, and went on to become the top-selling EP of the label’s 20+ year history. Ablaze with neon synths, and nocturnal atmospheres, Hemmett’s sublime voice floats to the forefront—searching for the truth between fantasy and reality

In February, LEATHERS returns with a new single, Crash; a sleek and hypnotic encounter with danger; real and imagined. Her upcoming debut album ULTRAVIOLET promises to catapult Leathers to the forefront of smart, exciting, electro-pop. See LEATHERS live at Cruel World Festival 2024 in Pasadena, CA on May 11th.

PRESS

“Goth melancholia rarely sounds quite so sweet and pretty as on the title track from the Reckless EP, which features twinkling synths straight outta Stranger Things or a John Hughes movie.”
— EXCLAIM! MAGAZINE
“Hemmett’s songs are smooth-edged, neon-tinged works of art.”
— AMODELOFCONTROL.COM
“Iridescent shoegaze with a post-punk beating heart... a perfect debut...”
— DIAMOND DEPOSITS
“‘Reckless’ is an intriguing collection of sheer sonic bliss”
— POST-PUNK.COM
“‘Day For Night’ ...cinches the gauzy pop sheen Jason Corbett and Shannon Hemmett are overlaying atop their post-punk foundations, and features a great vocal turn from Hemmett, sitting somewhere between Terri Nunn and Julee Cruise.”
— I DIE: YOU DIE
“So good, it’s like Twin Peaks f*cked My Bloody Valentine.”
— THE FANTASY CLINIC
