Leading Edge transmutes the sound influences of 2010s indie folk into a sonic alchemy of pop vocal harmonies, rock-inspired guitar lines, and bluegrass violin elements. With the lyrical introspection of an eternal traveler, the selection produced by Alexander Asp presents a rich palette of instrumental sounds reminiscent of acts like First Aid Kit, The Polyphonic Spree, and Coldplay. The title song "Northern Lights" evokes the experience of witnessing this phenomenon: A union of light and untamed strength.

LYRICS (Written by Anna Johannisson):
The wind feels warmer now
Uneven ground smoothing out
Oh, oooo we will follow
Hunted by morning light
It was cold on that summer night
Oh, oooo stars will guide us
Hear the birds sing
Of our journey that begins oh, oooo
Here on these rolling hills
Past the windmill oh, oooo
We’re chasing the northern lights
We’ll make it through before the sun rises
Silence fills my lungs
As dawn catches up on us
Gazing at the cliffs above
Darkness creeping up on us
Oh, oooo vicious creatures
Hear them whisper from below
Lurking under sticks and stones
Oh, oooo reaching for us
Hear the birds sing
Of our journey that begins oh, oooo
Here on these rolling hills
Past the windmill oh, oooo
We’re chasing the northern lights
We’ll make it through before the sun rises
Silence fills my lungs
As dawn catches up on us
We’re chasing the northern lights
We’ll make it through before the sun rises
Silence fills my lungs
As dawn catches up on us
We’re chasing the northern lights
We’ll make it through before the sun rises
Silence fills my lungs
As dawn catches up on us
