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.
