Lego Lepricons - Into The Bones (2012)

I discovered Israeli Indie rock band Lego Lepricons about eight years ago when I found some of their songs on Soundcloud, and I was blown away at just what a fantastic new band they were. Their music was a sort of progressive Indie rock, and I loved every track that I heard. I watched for them over the next few years, and a few more songs appeared online, but it wasn't until 2012 that they finally released a seven track EP called 'Judith, Call Security' (still available on Bandcamp), which included two songs ('Well, I Don't Think So' and 'You Should Have Known') that criticized the then current Israeli government's conduct in internal social affairs and foreign relations policies, and also the song 'I Can Fly', which was written about a 17 year old teenager, who one day just jumped out of a building. Although it was a great record it didn't include any songs that I hadn't already heard, and also missed off some of my favourites, such as the title track of this post, so I added those songs to the EP to make this album length post. As well as the atmospheric 'Make Me Yours' and the proggy 'What Is It', it also includes 'Into The Bones', which is a stunning 8-minute tour-de-force of inventive rock music, and I close the album with their superb cover of U2's 'Stay (Faraway, So Close)'. I've heard nothing more from them in the past six years so have to assume that they've broken up, but they've left behind a body of work that easily stands up to many bigger bands of the period, and I want to keep their name alive by posting it all here.
