An honest, handcrafted reflection on loss, renewal, and rediscovery.

Alone is the striking new album from singer‑songwriter and producer Leo Brazil — a deeply personal yet universally resonant project born from the breakup of his long‑term musical partnership and marriage. In the quiet solitude that followed, Leo turned to songwriting as a lifeline, documenting the emotional aftermath with unflinching honesty. Living and working entirely alone in his West Yorkshire home studio, he wrote, recorded, and performed every note himself — transforming isolation into a raw kind of liberation where music became both therapy and rediscovery. To preserve a raw, live intimacy, each song was recorded with vocals and guitar performed together, using only minimal overdubs.

​

Across its ten tracks, Alone captures the quiet determination of rebuilding — a collection that’s fragile yet fearless, deeply confessional yet full of warmth. Layered with acoustic guitar, violin, Mellotron, and pedal steel, it blends folk, psych, country, and blues into something distinct and emotionally immediate.

​

Drawing on his connection to the natural world, Leo fills these songs with poetic metaphors — from the endurance of snails and the flight of mayflies to the resilience of badgers and the “War On The Wild.” Tracks like “No Matter How Dark” and “Perhaps I Have the Power” glow with hope amid vulnerability, while “Unsinkable Sam” and “Sleep For Years” turn animal stories into moving reflections on survival and transformation.

​

With handmade artwork, self‑produced videos, and a beautifully illustrated lyric book, Alone stands as both closure and new beginning — the sound of one artist rediscovering himself, finding light, balance, and healing through creation.
