"We’re so grateful to our ever-growing LEISURE family around the world, the connections you’ve made and the adventures you’ve taken our music on. Our last album ‘Sunsetter’ was released in the height of our lockdowns and we greatly missed being able to celebrate with you.

So we are absolutely hyped to announce our 4th studio album Leisurevision and the 2023 dates of our Leisurevision tour.

This album navigates the human experience, and all the hope, joy, chaos and euphoria it entails.

Encapsulated by the colour Green - symbolic of growth, renewal, and rebirth - a calming and harmonious colour, representing balance, peace and tranquillity.

Leisurevision sees the world through that lens, content and curious, we’re excited for you to experience it, together."

Press release:

In a world preoccupied with instant gratification and overnight success, LEISURE have been taking the scenic route. The six members - and mates - came together in 2015 on a spontaneous trip up New Zealand's west coast. At that stage, they’d independently spent years churning through the music machine’s tight jaws. Individually, they are award winning songwriters, producers and creatives. Together, they resolved to carve out a new musical paradigm: cut the crap, enjoy the ride and above all, keep it LEISURE.

Fast forward to 2023; 3 NZtop20 albums under their belt, 350+ million streams, sold-out shows throughout NZ, Australia and Europe - the outlook’s pretty fine.

After all, life in the slow lane has legs - as this band proves. They’re going the distance, at their own pace, in their own way. inviting you to join them on this new venture with Leisurevision.
