Hey folks!
It’s release day! The new album Waves Of Desire is now available to stream and order on Vinyl/CD/8-Track Tape: https://jerryleger.com/album/waves-of-desire/

It was recorded in Cologne at legendary studio Maarweg while the band and I were on tour. Joined by our friends Suzan Köcher (vocals/autoharp) and Julian Müller (guitar/synth/percussion/vocals), I wanted to make a hug of a record, a comfort record. Waves Of Desire is melodic, textured, inviting, passionate, vulnerable and a fun listen. I self-produced (with help from Julian) and felt very strongly with the directions, arrangements and sounds I was going for. I think it’s my best and a perfect album to release 20 years into my career. We could not have done it without Thomas Haumann, who engineered and mixed the record. Many thanks to assistant engineers Amelie Förster, Mathieu Weiden and Johannes Meyer Zum Wischen. Thanks to Celina Hoß for the beautiful artwork, and Philip Shaw Bova for the finishing touches in the mastering department.
Thanks to Jörg Tresp at DevilDuck Records in Hamburg for releasing and getting behind this record, and Wolfgang Buchholz/Matthias Schwettmannn for the introduction!
