Silver & Black by Leadfinger
Silver & Black is our 6th Album. It is out now on vinyl, CD and digital through Golden Robot Records and they have kindly agreed to us making it available through Bandcamp as well.
The story of Silver & Black began not long after the career high of our first tour of Europe in October 2017. I fell ill and was shockingly diagnosed with lung cancer. Following almost 2 years of treatment that included losing one of my lungs and a long, uncertain recovery the band began to try and regroup, not even knowing whether I would be able to play and sing again. Slowly and somewhat miraculously, things fell in to place in the isolation (and therapy) of the rehearsal room and then in and around Covid and lockdowns we managed to write and record this new album at Garth Porters Rancom Street Studio in Sydney with Brent Clark producing. Finally, with the album in the can and after an almost 4 year absence from the stage we even returned to play live again in June 2021. More pandemic stuff happened to delay this release but Silver & Black coming out today marks the final step in our own small triumph over serious adversity...and it's our best sounding album yet!! A lot of work and patience went into making this album so thanks for listening. We hope it connects with you in some small way. Life is short so make the most of it, do the things you love.
