About Leading Edge
Leading Edge
Folk Pop from Southern Sweden
Swedish folk pop ensemble Leading Edge is an ear-friendly combination of organic instrumental melodies and Nordic pop production. A group of musicians with diverse influences, drawing inspiration from artists like The Tallest Man on Earth and The Paper Kites. Their lyrics embody individual universes inspired by everything from neo-noir films to everyday thoughts.
Formed in 2012 by singer/songwriter Anna Johannisson, Leading Edge originated as a group of university students in the southern city of Lund. The band’s overall aesthetics carry a subtle influence from the town’s intellectual and open-minded student life.
The sound of Leading Edge has evolved from pop-rock influenced by Coldplay to a rather acoustic tone shaped in collaboration with Gothenburg-based producer Alexander Asp. Their mellow vocal harmonies are supported by the catchy melodies of the piano and electric guitar.
The band released their first EP in 2016 and got signed to Rexius Records in 2019. The single "Radio Shadow" and subsequent album "Northern Lights" were released under the label in 2020. Leading Edge returned in 2022 with “Sin City”, with an accompanying music video recorded in the streets of Malmö. The video was premiered on Swedish music magazine HYMN. Their latest single “The Secrets You Hide” was released in May 2022.
