Choir Boy - Leave Me Be | Audiotree Far Out

Choir Boy is a somber synth punk outfit who write dreamy tunes about mental health, death and renewal. The quartet's bouncy, melodic music is in stark contrast to the themes they cover; highlighting the essential complexity within each of us. Check out a killer Far Out by Choir Boy live at Marie's Pizza.
Far Out is an Audiotree series where we step outside our studio to record artists in unusual environments.

This version is even better than the album's.

[@Rufuslowlife]

Whoever the sound engineer is on these recordings, take a bow....... tremendous job.

[@forgotten-1]

Best comment here, this could be put on a CD and sold as a live recording.

[@innercityprepper]

I just saw them live at the Turf Club in St Paul MN last night and they sound this crisp and well-mixed live as well. It was an absolutely incredible performance.

[@luxsuguness]

Adams voice actually sounds like that without engines

[@kirkstevens7006]

The sound engineer who mixes these deserves a raise. Every band is always mixed so well..

[@fettaboyproductions6022]

Choir Boy along Drab Majesty, Body of Light, Boy Harsher, Cold Cave and the rest of Dias records only thing that saved my faith in music! Much love from Tucson!

Here's 2 more to check out:

[@fettaboyproductions6022]

Thanks for the suggestion, just check them out and they are both amazing Very sexy sounds from both those bands!

[@AmeliaSpitler]

I'll add in Them Are Us Too!

[@SpettroFamily]

got to agree, some of my favourite bands indeed

[@fettaboyproductions6022]

can’t thank you enough for suggesting I love there first album there new album Ceremony is The Smiths Louder then bombs level Greatness

[@vincentalonzo9252]

This band sounds like a modern Tears for Fears. I love it.

[@DRnick2359]

...was thinking The Smiths...especially with Adam's vocals sounding eerily similar to Morrissey's....

[@vincentalonzo9252]

@@DRnick2359 I mean yes I do agree with The Smiths.

[@juanborjas6416]

I think it sounds better than them.

[@jackwinterson9801]

@MysteriousOklahoma lowlife is underrated

[@beckybarnes8875]

Smiths for sure

[@jamiesomers3564]

Tell you what “I feel how the snow falls” off this record is one of the most under the radar tracks ever imo absolute masterpiece

[@massimilianomarino7523]

Band: oh no, we couldn't find a drummer!
Keyboardist: hold my sustain pedal.

[@emnigmamachine]

I like the keyboardist's taste in synths. Great band!

Accidentally stumbled upon this band on Spotify a few months back , best thing to ever happen to me musically . LOVE this band , love the instruments , especially the basslines ! Thanks for the music Choir Boy !

[@landscaperben]

Same here dude. They're pretty amazing aren't they?!

[@ThierryReneSantosMatos]

the bassman is the star

[@innercityprepper]

Make sure you also find Private World, if you haven't already.

[@jazzss23]

i know this comment is from 2 years ago but yess the basslines are so immaculate

[@teetoys76]

Sooper dooper 80’s vibe & sound ...🤘🧐

[@angelodimas1962]

Some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

[@geopin7672]

You pose resilience to reality
Oh, as if it would
Betray your feelings for your heritage
Yet you heed your friends persuasive melodies
Oh, they sound so good
My final Chorus rings "don't follow me"
[Chorus]
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Why has one earned such a haunting
When we both can see
Divergence warrants no hostility
We glean no joyous affirmation
From our quarantine
This path concludes with nothing shimmering
[Chorus]
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me

[@fractalsauce]

"We glean no joyous affirmation
From our quarantine
This path concludes with nothing shimmering"
Little did he know how true this would be for all of us in 2020...

[@nickice7009]

Wow incredible sound live. I was hoping it would be good after listening to the albums over the last year and decided to check out how the band sounds live blown away. 🔥

[@Vpain90009]

I'm so glad they are gaining more exposure. One of the best bands I've ever seen live.

[@atomicbrain9401]

This gave me chills. Haunting. Beautiful. Choir Boy continues to be incredible

[@MeteorBros]

I freakin’ love Choir Boy! I was pretty happy to see this in my sub feed!

[@lipsticklatina79]

One of my favorite bands ever! Complainer, Nites like this and Blood moon (I think it’s called) are great songs. Their music always puts me in a happy mood even though the lyrics are darker and gloomy. Great music and would love to see them live one day if they are in the Bay Area 🎲🖤

[@alwaysreturnNurgirl]

"Nights like this, stars don't bother to shine" love that song!!!

[@NonProphetz]

What about Candy?!

[@alwaysreturnNurgirl]

@@NonProphetz sweet candy is good too

[@jamiesomers3564]

Amazing band - passive with desire is such an underrated album. “I feel how the snow falls” completely breaks my heart as well ❣️

[@Vampirebear13]

This is so good!!!! Nice to hear kids echoing an 80's vibe. It's rare for me to find a new band that I'd gladly buy their CDs & go see live but I'd do both for this band.

[@gwen1488]

Vampirebear13 cds lol

[@Vampirebear13]

@@gwen1488 Yep CDs. I'm a collector so must have physical media.

[@bens5974]

they're fantastic live, definitely see them if you get the chance

[@highbury1972]

Choir Boy are totally fantastic live as i saw them play in my city of Brighton & Hove 30/5/22. They headlined a joint bill with Soft Kill and they blew me away. As a live band they are mint!!
Please come back to Europe again soon!!!!

[@madig1660]

One of my favorite bands, had the pleasure of seeing them live with Cold Cave. AMAZING

[@bens5974]

philly?

[@jayc9144]

this band is extremely underrated, i hope to see them live one day. they sound just like the studio recordings, if not, better!

[@JaimeNavidad]

You know the sound engineer is top notch when the live song gives you goosebumps

Why aren't there more views! This music hits the soul

[@cheesecakelasagna]

I am now a believer of the "accidents happen for a reason" religion becaus of this.
Stumbled across the demo version of Dark Room while looking for other things.

[@jupiterrising887]

Kind of has a throwback feel, like we should be in 1986; not necessarily a bad thing! The vocal performance is really what's making this stand apart from a lot of other synth-wave bands.

[@edcool77]

Sounds like 1983`s Synthpop/New Wave & College rock bands!

[@n54515]

I adore this

[@50zezima]

Just saw them in Boise Idaho, freaking amazing performance he sung his damn heart out!

[@olddisneylandtickets]

Just saw this them in Boise too on the 30th WOW they rocked, I was very impressed, a real talented group of musicians.He did sign his heart out! I Bought the LP, sounds great!

[@richeeskullz]

Some of the greatest music on this floating rock.

[@ccccccarlossssss]

Saw them in Sacramento and i've been a super fan since. They're amazing

[@PlayinWithGhosts]

Man, PWD is such an outstanding record. Can't believe they sound like this live. Agree with everyone else, the audio engineering here sounds just as good as the record, if not better.

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

I knew Adams music would grow and reach more fans!

[@EST-1977]

Great 80's sound ...luv it

[@dreadreaundrea]

Love them so much! I hope I can see them live one day!

[@hunterdeaton236]

Saw them in Denver with snail mail. Had never heard them before but after that performance passive with desire has been on rotation. Also the bassist is a cool guy and was nice enough to have a conversation with my buddy and I after the show.

[@nightskye1348]

Choir Boy back at it again with the great songs! 🌹

[@TeamPhooz]

Next time I go for a haircut I will tell them to give me the Choir Boy special.

The intro before the song starts really has some Donkey Kong Country Underwater level vibes goin on. I dig it

[@Funerealnight1349]

Some amazing footage of one of my absolute favorite songs by this band.
