About Francis Harris and his album LeLand
Scissor and Thread presents "Leland" the debut album by Francis Harris, released on a deluxe 150g triple LP pressing which includes an mp3 download version. The album, Harris' most expansive work to date, is a requiem for the artists father and is being released to coincide with the second anniversary of his passing. It features Danish vocalist Gry on three tracks including "lostfound," the first single and video which was remixed by Matthew Herbert and debuted on Pitchfork. Also featured throughout are Emil Abramyan, whose poignant performance on cello evokes comparison to Arthur Russell, and Greg Paulus (No Regular Play/Matthew Dear Band), whose improvisational free jazz inspired trumpet accents converse thoughtfully with Harris' own tonal melodies performed on piano and guitar. Determined to produce electronic music with warmth and true dynamic range, Harris recorded and mixed “Leland” with Jordan Lieb on an analog SSL and then enlisted legendary engineer Joe Lambert to master the project.

"Leland" is presented on a deluxe 150g triple LP pressing and includes a download card with a unique code redeemable for a 320mp3 version of the full album. The pressing is limited to 500 copies worldwide.
