about

The Saint-Léon Story - written by close friend and video director Pascal Lubois

With one member in London and the other in Sydney, childhood friends Ryan Nicolussi (vocals) and Alister Hill (production) somehow never made music together until they found themselves 10,553 miles apart.

Reuniting once a year for marathon recording sessions in the French village they’re named after, Saint-Léon craft miniature epics - from timeless guitar and synth pop blasts through to electronic monoliths. Sharing each other’s secrets while on opposite sides of the world through hints in song titles and melodic themes, the music of Saint-Léon is a long distance lifeline that soundtracks the duo’s emotional failures and rupturing falls that would traditionally be confided eye to eye.

Courting kids’ rumours when they’re recording that a ghost wails in the village walls, Saint-Léon is a rock band born from a childhood friendship… yet nurtured by the internet, the infinite expanse of electronic music, and the belief that though the system may be broken, worthwhile work can be wrought from its cracks.
