Listen: David Myles - "Leaving"

"Leaving" arrives via Halifax, CA singer/songwriter David Myles and his recently released album Into the Sun, sounding something like a fusion of the sharp melodic pop/rock of Justin Currie's Del Amitri and the spangled folk songcraft of "Rhymin" Paul Simon. Myle's Sun, his fifth studio album, expands his mellow foray into Brazilian and African rhythms and even dishes up a pair of sleek and brassy instrumentals alongside his trademark troubadour tunes.

David Myles - "Leaving" (from Into the Sun)

David Myles on "Leaving": "Probably the closest thing to a rock song on the record. This song was a bit of a beast to record. Mostly because I was determined to find as many ways to make it different from a traditional rock song as I could. Joshua Van Tassel, who played drums on the whole record, really helped push this tune out of the traditional rock world and into something a bit closer to the rest of the record."
