Wait For It: Tom Vek Leisure Seizure

After a mysterious five year hiatus Tom Vek is back. His sophomore album Leisure Seizure drops on June 7th (on Downtown/ Coop USA/ Island Records). Vek's fascination with cable access TV is played up in the video for the first single "A Chore" where Vek plays presenter of a fictional TV show Tom Vek's Island.

Vek has spent the last five years working on the album. In the first three years he "set up" by teaching himself new techniques and procuring new equipment before two years of recording the album. In the end Vek returns with a more elaborate and controlled album in Leisure Seizure. Die hard fans won't be disappointed, with plenty of emphasis on beats and his trademark percussion but Vek is sure to gain many new fans too. Five years is a long time to go "off the grid" in these technologically driven times, but I'm sure that the music will speak for itself leaving his disappearance five years ago forgotten (or at least forgiven).
