Album Notes

"D.C. quintet Lejeune's "Moon-Shy City" is the perfect soundtrack to drive through the clusters of mini-mansions that have popped up all around Washington. Roll down your window as vocalist Sam Bishop croons, "Too many houses built too soon," and the band plays a brand of pop that sounds both futuristic and retro at the same time." - DCStyleMag.com

"After only a year and a half in business, Lejeune has its sound wired tight---romantic, jangly, operatic pop compiled from loving glances back at the grand gestures of the '70s and from the songcraft and irony of '80s indie." - Washington Post Express

"...these guys sound like the band your best friend's cool older brother wouldn't stop listening to during his first summer home from college...Lejeune's self-titled, eight-song debut has earned them the attention of podcasters and satellite radio; their live show makes them worthy of yours." - Tom Lee - DCist.com

"Soulful pop with an indie twist. The music reminds me of Dire Straits at times and R.E.M. at other times. Extremely well written pop songs that at times have a Dave Faulkner feel of delivery. They seem to be a bit more highbrow lyrically speaking than the Gurus. More on the same plane as Chris Issak. Yeah, thats whom I would compare this too. This is for fans of Chris Issak, R.E.M. and the Dire Straits with a little taste of the Hoodoo Gurus thrown in for good measure." -J.R. Oliver, Earcandy Magazine

+++++++++++++++++

Lejeune is a Washington, DC quintet dedicated to writing and performing romantic pop rock about the usual: Japanese nightclubs, dorm-room affairs, street violence, and magical thinking. The seasoned ensemble has honed its robust and velvety sound, finding inspiration in '60s torch singers, spaghetti-western soundtracks, and new wave pop.

The band's new record, For Club and Country, will be released in Spring 2007. The album was recorded with Alan Weatherhead (Cracker, Cardigans, Sparklehorse) in late Summer 2006 at Richmond, Virginia's Sound of Music Studios.

Lejeune formed in 2003, and released their self-titled, 8-song debut the following year.
