PRESENTED BY LOUISE HOUGHTON

Leon of Athens (aka Timoleon Veremis) has re-released his single Global, taken from the album of the same name.

Global is a mesmerising shift of oceanic energy and sublime pop action. The song documents the life of a character who has been travelling forever, literally and metaphorically and has lived through thousands of years, searching for a resting place amongst the mayhem. The album was produced by Tony Doogan, (Mogwai and Belle & Sebastian). Leon's vibe is upbeat and euphoric, with social awareness running throughout.

Leon Veremis is originally from Athens in Greece, his sound evolved while living in the city's counter cultural quarter, Exarchia. The first material he released was inspired by a country in crisis, making headlines there and in the US; within just a few months he was playing to audiences of thousands in Greece. Now based in London, Leon’s music draws influences from acts such as MGMT, Grizzly Bear, and St Vincent, to name but a few.

Global is out this week via Mimosa’s Dream Records through Believe Digital.
