Does anyone remember when the 80s became popular again? Not just those 80s nights at bars and clubs, but when musicians started to openly profess their love for the decade and when it really started to show in the music? It’s been a while now, and the fascination’s never ceased to be just as relevant as when it all started, which is why Leverage Models — the namesake of long-active songwriter Shannon Fields, stands out from the (rather large) pack (and the even more numerous peripheral parties): Fields reaches directly back to the specifically New Wave strands of the 80s, without the self-conscious concerns of contemporaneity that innumerable other acts have long exhibited, but from there makes them truly his own, (con)forming to a new, and uniquely signature sound, as can be heard on his project’s self-titled debut album.
