LEISURE

New Zealand-based band LEISURE makes music that speaks to Auckland's relaxing and calm atmosphere. Having come together spontaneously when travelling around New Zealand's rugged West Coast, the country is of huge significance to the band. Bandmate Jaden Parkes explained to us that his tie to the island is strengthened by the fact that he was "raised in the Waitakere ranges" in Auckland, which has a "special vibe that [he's] only found on the West Coast."
