Choice Kiwi Cuts 2019: Leisure - Too Much of a Good Thing

I don’t mind admitting I’m a bit of a sucker for the pure pop of Leisure. The band’s single, ‘Too Much of a Good Thing’ is one part funky disco, one part dreamy synthpop, and one part chill. But what I like most about it, whether it’s intentional or not, is the way the lightweight groove unrepentantly conjures up recall of yacht rock’s mid-70s heyday. Exactly the sort of thing I spent years trying to avoid. Which is probably why it still sounds so fresh to me.
