The sun is out, and it’s a good day to turn you on to some killer New Wave! Gentle Leader XIV‘s new album, Joke in the Shadow, which comes out on April 18th via Feel It Records, is a modern-day New Wave gem. Over 10 tracks, this band’s music will take you back to a time when Flock of Seagulls ruled the airwaves. Don’t get it twisted: Yes, you can hear GENTLE LEADER XIV’s influences, but they reinterpreted them into a sound that is truly their own. It’s time to get down to the synth beats Joke in the Shadow while living in 2025. I’m stoked to share this killer album in full below.
