Ride It Out

In a world preoccupied with instant gratification and overnight success, New Zealand’s LEISURE have been taking the scenic route. The six members - and mates - came together in 2015 on a spontaneous trip up New Zealand’s ragged west coast. At that stage, they’d independently spent years churning through the music machine’s tight jaws. Individually, the six are award-winning songwriters, producers and creatives. Together, they resolved to carve out a new musical paradigm: cut the crap, enjoy the ride and above all, keep it LEISURE.

‘Ride It Out’ reframes connection through resilience, capturing the push and pull of a relationship as it moves through its tougher moments.

Beneath the laid-back groove is a message of patience and commitment. Staying present, holding on, and trusting that the highs are still on the other side.

It’s about weathering the dips, not overreacting to the lows, and choosing to ride things out until the light comes back.
