Leif Vollebekk Details Revelations For Exclaim!

The September release of Leif Vollebekk‘s new LP Revelations is fast approaching, and the Montréal-based songwriter has detailed the new record for Exclaim! “During the pandemic lockdown, I was drawn to biographies and books about science.

When I read about Isaac Newton’s life, I discovered that this man of science secretly practiced alchemy in his own laboratory and looked for signs of the apocalypse. The more I read, the more otherworldly all these great scientists were. Dmitri Mendeleev said his breakthrough for the arrangement of the elements came to him in a dream. Is it really that different from Paul McCartney hearing ‘Yesterday’ in a dream?”
