After months of furious back-channelling and a deal inked under the cover of darkness, we’re delighted to welcome The Sick Man Of Europe to The Leaf Label.

The debut Moderate Air Quality EP is released today on digital platforms and is available to pre-order on a limited run of cassettes. 100 copies will be available in a handful of shops and via Bandcamp. These will be shipping in about a week.

Watch the video to the title track now.

Emerging from London’s underground music scene, The Sick Man Of Europe is distinctly monochrome in its outlook. Each note counts in this climate – economical but played with absolute precision and conviction. Propelled forward by machines and seeking solace in repetition. There are echoes of the post-punk and European art rock pioneers at the cusp of the 80s, but re-tooled for the present. The same fears. Looking for answers or something to believe in, but finding more questions in an age of absolutes.

The Sick Man Of Europe will support Snapped Ankles on the March leg of their upcoming UK tour.

There is a free entry EP launch show at Shacklewell Arms on February 28th.
RSVP now.
