The Persian Leaps is an indie rock/power pop band from Saint Paul, Minnesota. They sound like they’ve heard more than a few of the great British indie records of the ’80s and ’90s. The silky fuzz and solid hooks of tracks like 'Sleepless' echo The Smiths, Orange Juice and Teenage Fanclub with great enthusiasm, and they never fail to recreate that celestial guitar jangle. Too indie rock to be punk, too blasting to be noise-pop, this Twin Cities trio… solder it all together into a happy-sounding, full-on mélange, bolstering their sanguine sugar-pop melodies and harmonies.
