Exploding In Sound and Inflated Records announced that the labels are teaming up for the release of Brooklyn noise pop quartet Leapling’s full length debut record, Vacant Page. Set for release on February 10 (pre-order here), Leapling have premiered the album’s first single, “Crooked” today via The AV Club. The eclectic sound of Leapling defies all preconceived notions of what indie rock can be, combining experimental elements of noise pop, hip-hop, krautrock, dream pop, and psych rock into their own swirling sound.

Leapling, the brainchild of Brooklyn-based songwriter Dan Arnes, juxtaposes moments of subtle beauty with harsh, guitar-driven noise to create a sound both brilliant and infectiously catchy. The band’s debut EP, Losing Face, released in early 2013 on Father/Daughter Records, established Leapling’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the world of experimental pop.
