Lean Tales is no more.  This their 1st and last release is a triumph of an ep which captures the promise that would never be built upon.  Lean Tales  was Imogen (the singer who was always late for rehearsals), Chris (the grumpy guitar player who loved nothing more than a good book on WWII), Erika (bassist; a notorious hypochondriac in love with Jon Snow) and Craig (drummer and medical student-the only member of the band who didn’t suffer from regular neurosis).

They formed in 2007-almost by chance- through a shared love of Pixies, The Smiths, Young Marble Giants, The Cramps, Dolly Mixture, cheap horror films and a now-defunct Glasgow club called The National Pop League.

They worked with small labels such as Series Two Records, Bon Vivant Records and Spanner Records and got radio plays in Europe and the US. They like fanzines, DIY projects and socialism. They want the railways to be nationalised. Lean Tales liked songs to be short and sweet.  They are sometimes shambling, but hate tweeness.
