Wanderling Tour

Reset to Factory Specs

Mental health pop for the Deep Dark

"There are parts of myself I've kept hidden. Pieces of who I really am, memories of what's really happened to me, ways I've survived and how I've grown out of ashes. So many Tower cards, and me, navigating the rubble.

For this album I removed all the masks and set aside every voice but my own, to let myself face and embrace who I am and write about it: a queer, autistic, non-binary survivor who's lucky to be here and to be so loved." --Leslie

Album Press Release

"I swear I love it more with every listen. Not kidding. Not exaggerating. On repeat." -- S. J. Tucker

Lyric video for 88 Keys from the album Reset to Factory Specs 

"The piano's been my lifeline for 40 years. When I can't sleep, I play. Years ago, when the nightmares wouldn't leave me alone, I played. Every emotion I've ever felt gets channelled through those 88 keys and I know I'm not alone. I'm never alone." --Leslie
