Highly acclaimed Greek indie-pop experimentalist Leon of Athens has unveiled his brand new song ‘Xenos’. Leading with dark creeping electronics and stark guitars, the song is the first single from the new album recorded with producer David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Everything Everything).

The original Greek meaning of ‘Xenos’ translates to stranger, also depending on context interpreted as alien, guest, foreigner or enemy. Currently living in London, the Athens native delivers a powerful song with an important message for these turbulent times.

To mark the release of ‘Xenos’, Leon Of Athens will return to his adopted home city, to play a headline show at The Lexington on Friday March 17th.

“Leon of Athens has mastered the art of electronica-tickled,horn-smattered, melodic pop.” – NME
