This is the debut album from an act that perfectly blends the lush sounds and emotion of classic new wave/new romantic music with modern synthpop. The song "Wake" received a lot of positive attention both online and from the previously released CD single. The album lives up to the single in every aspect.
"I downloaded "Indigent" from here and wow. It blew my mind.
The music style is electronic/piano rock. It's kind of new wavey stuff, but not. It's extremely unique! The vocals are beautiful, and the songs all flow freely, yet in one direction. It's very relaxing and beautiful to listen to.
This is a gem in my eclectic collection of music. It's sits very high on my list.
This group is coming out with a new CD very soon. I was surprised since I just bought this CD and have a brand new one to look forward to!"
One of the brightest new synthpop stars

"A lot of synthpop stuff that's being put out isn't produced overly well or the singing isn't up to par. Leiahdorus puts those weaknesses to rest. The piano and haunting vocals on Wake, retro-synth So Much, hard driven pop of Jupiter, and the brooding Come Around are just a few of the incredible tracks.
Like synthpop? Miss new wave?
Get it!"
Great album especially Jupiter

"At first I only liked Jupiter, but the rest of the songs have really grown on me. Been listening to it for days now. Somewhere between Alphaville and Apoptygma Berzerk, if that is even possible."
The Best or the Rest?

"Leiahdorus was created by Jason Smith in 98, but it was not until Joey B (from The Echoing Green)got involved before he had any demo. Which eventually found it's way to Todd Durrant of the Synthpop label A Different Drum. Who signed Leiahdorus to a full record deal. The first result of this deal is Ashes,Ashes. It meshes Classical with Synth elements unlike anything out there. Drawing you into the heart of the performer. The lyrical content is something everyone (unless your fake) can relate to. Some songs might even pull a tear or two from your eyes. When you put this record in there is no telling what kind or emotional effect it will have on you. It can very from track to track. Using lots of acoustic instruments. The Piano is the best one on the album. Proving Jasons talent as a classical pianist. The most powerful however is his voice. It's hauntingly bueatiful,and is sure to give many a chill. It will also make you feel where he is coming from. This album will leave you wanting more. Anyway this band is up there with the best. Leaving behind the rest. If you like Synthpop or even Classical music this record is for you, and remember this is only the begining.Leiahdorus Fan KGSFor more info check out the (web-site)"
An amazing debut

"I got this recently and it's been living in my CD player ever since. An absolutely stunning debut album from a clearly talented artist. I hear these songs even when I'm not listening to them. I've never heard anyone who sounds quite like this. Pick this up. Expand your mind. Discover something new. You'll be happy you did."
