Dreamy electronic popster Leila is back with a new album and single, seven years after her second album, Courtesy Of Choice was released. Having released music on Richard D. James’s Rephlex and on XL Recordings, it is now Warp that will do the honours of releasing Blood, Looms & Blooms on 9 June. The album will be preceded by Mettle, a 10” EP, on 21 April.

The album features collaborations with Terry Hall and Tricky sidekick Martina Toppley Bird.

Leila is also scheduled to perform at this year’s Sonar festival in Barcelona.
