It's been a long time between drinks for Tom Vek, but five years after delivering his acclaimed debut the man is back...

Having spent a couple of years burrowed away in his South London studio, solo and multi-instrumentalist Tom Vek presents his new album, 'Leisure Seizure'.

Vek spontaneously released his first album just as the digital age was dawning, guest starred on The O.C. and then disappeared. British-born, his references are rooted in American culture, ranging from mid 90s alt-rock, cable access TV shows and post-war fiction.

Following the justification of his debut album's reception, Vek wanted to fulfill the idea of a 'multi-faceted individual' and remain in complete control of his creative output. An artist with a unique and singular vision, Vek has a systematic way of working. The second album's creation was two-fold: a 3 year set-up period followed by a 2 year stretch of musical output. Having been out of the public eye for so long, Vek takes the role of presenter roll in the brilliant Ollie Evans-directed video for A Chore, featuring a self-imagined American cable show that references Glenn O'Brien's cult TV Party and BBC's Desert Island Discs.

The self-taught recording artist's process and musical output is loaded with cryptic contradictions; his scrappy, chopped-up, beat rock sounds are housed in contrasting clean and precise artwork; this new era's trademark, the obsessively refined pair of British made Anglo American glasses, sit unworn on the cover of the focused new 12-track album.
