PREMIERE: YUKA TREE “THE MAN IN THE LEATHER LACED SHOES”
It’s hard to ignore the haunting guitar riff or Yuka Tree’s engrossing vocal. “The Man In the Leather Laced Shoes” is a song that can easily stand out in any crowd with its raging, out-of-the-world lo-fi post-punk expression.
Yuka Tree depicts a man in leather-laced shoes and a loosely messed-up three-piece suit, always be up your nose, trying to stay in complete power through edgy lyrics and spiral storytelling. In the burning, demonic sound environment, his ugly face and toxic behavior are even more intolerable.
“You can hear the ice clink in the man’s drink that he holds in his right hand; it’s half-past eight, and you’re running late. With the same sordid mandate wrapped in a band, his three-piece suit fits too loose and reminds you of the screws. That you will be sure, you’ll get what for, when you’re not wanted anymore, from the man in the leather laced shoes.”
Following their debut release, “Preacher,” the highly anticipated “The Man in the Leather Laced Shoes” does not disappoint. In its tireless, eerie guitar-driven theme and multi-angle storyline, a vivid, memorable character revolves around a toxic, abusive relationship.
