Digital Leather
Digital Leather is the musical project led by multi-instrumentalist Shawn Foree. It is recognized for having characteristics of electropunk, new wave, pop, lo-fi, and psychedelic music.
Originally from Yuma, Arizona, Foree began calling his project Digital Leather when he moved to Tucson, where he studied American Literature at University of Arizona. He used student loan money to buy equipment. He managed to release his first three albums after recording them in his bedroom on labels such as Tic Tac Totally, Jay Reatard's Shattered Records imprint, and FDH Records. He supported this “bedroom project” with several nationwide and European tours.Sorcerer, released on Goner Records in 2008, is a half-live, half-studio record.
In 2009, friend and fellow musician Jay Reatard took over managing duties for the band. Around this time Foree began working on a collection of songs in a fully operational studio. Released in September 2009 by Fat Possum Records, Warm Brother garnered positive reviews. Pitchfork, for example, referred to Foree as sui generis, calling the album a “charming curio.” Reportedly, the label did not initially support the album’s artwork, which features a shirtless man with the album name taped across his chest.

Homesick For Terror
by: Digital LeatherWarlords of the underworld
We raise each glass in your praise tonight
And celebrate bad decisions made
Like batteries and escalades
Imbibe with me in this fantasy
Of consequential reality
Have you ever given up
Just to find it was your ticket out?
Picture perfect worlds in you
Revel until your face is blue
Suffocate till you cannot see
Faking this will always be
Jets attack you take a nap
Burning trees you drink a little sap
Calm your nerves you lick (?) some ass and tits
Bunnies die to make up cheap lipstick
I'm not gonna stay home tonight
I'm not gonna know wrong from right
I'm not gonna say no to life
I'm gonna fight
I'm not gonna stay home tonight
I'm not gonna be so uptight
I'm not gonna follow the light
