Tracking in an upwards direction with the output of their work, and about to embark on their sun-filled South Island tour very shortly, Fool’s Lagoon have awakened all of the right senses with their highly anticipated indie-rock single, Take Me or Leave Me, released yesterday.

Take Me or Leave Me is full of zest accompanied by a whole lot of good vibes, which are all wrapped up into a neat 4 minutes, 17 seconds

Take Me or Leave Me is refined to perfection and endlessly listenable, therefore, it doesn’t feel like it truly ever comes to a complete stop.

The edginess of Take Me or Leave Me ensures each instrument sparks against the next to tell a story, even when the vocals have fallen silent, filling more than just empty space and the way that Fool’s Lagoon nail this with ease is quite deliberately striking.

Fool’s Lagoon have truly amplified their listeners' experience with Take Me or Leave Me and the emphasis on that diversion to a different set of skills massively highlights their seriousness in progressing as a band.

Something that I consistently admire about Fool’s Lagoon is that they keep you guessing what their next move is; they’re not tied down to one set of abilities, they’re always up for new challenges and that is where the magic lies, being able to produce and discover new elements of what is possible.

Take Me or Leave Me is distinguished, pulling out all of the stops to create a supersonic powerhouse of a tune and with the added in deeper vocalised delivery, Take Me or Leave Me is a refreshing, delectable treat.
