Description
Iranian-born, London-based innovator Leila has been described as one of the “1990s forgotten mavericks” (Pitchfork) and is an integral member of the golden generation of boundary-pushing electronic producers, working with the likes of Bjork, Terry Hall, Martina Topley-Bird, and Aphex Twin.
After releasing her debut album ‘Like Weather’ via Aphex Twin's label Rephlex in 1998, Leila signed to XL and released ‘Courtesy of Choice’ in 2000, an album described as “creative, highly listenable, unpretentious electronic music at its best” (Exclaim!).
To celebrate the album's 25th anniversary, Leila reissues ‘Courtesy of Choice ۲۵… asides and besides’, the expanded edition of her seminal XL Recordings sophomore album. Here Leila blends glitchy textures, emotive melodies, and off-kilter beats to craft deeply personal sonic landscapes - her work helped shape the post-trip-hop, IDM-influenced sound of the early 2000s, influencing the generation that followed.
