Reactions to “Lover Automatic”
“It’s a stellar comeback with their left field, suave, pop slant sounding ace with hip hop kinda drums and a romance fuelling those grooves” – Declan Byrne, Home & Hosed / Triple J
““Lover Automatic” is one of those tracks which sucks you in with repeat listens. It has an infectious pop hook with sweet falsetto vocals from Luke O’Loughlin….The violin of Jenny McCullagh is always a joy to hear, and Rosie Fitzgerald on bass reminds us why she in such high demand.” – AU Review Track Of The Week
“It’s a taut and unpretentious three-and-a-half-minute pop package, devoid of fat but still able to accommodate a wonderfully wobbly 35-second synth solo right in the middle of it.” – Double J

Due to COVID restrictions I Know Leopard have had to reschedule both upcoming Sydney and Melbourne shows: Sydney to Friday August 20 and Melbourne to Saturday July 10. The anticipation for the return of the dazzling Sydney alt-pop trio has certainly been high. So high in fact, that they’ve had to announce a second Sydney show at Oxford Art Factory due to the first selling out. The show will be the first chance they’ll have to debut their first new music in two years, particularly their latest single “Lover Automatic”.
Fans have been relishing the band’s shift in sound, which has seen them move from the ‘70s soft rock inspired Love Is A Landmine 2019 album to a sweet but smart take on hyper coloured alt-pop, blending synth stabs, up-tempo breakbeats, violin and tight bass playing. “Lover Automatic” manages to sound like no one else yet with the band’s trademark infectious hooks feels instantly familiar at the same time.
Perfectly complementing it is the wild animated video by Luke Saunders where Luke, Rosie and Jenny from the band are cute vampires travelling through a surreal landscape that’s something like the ‘80s Japanese City Pop album cover art of Hiroshi Nagai on acid.
Not only has the song been receiving glowing support on radio across the country but key US stations such as WXPN in Philadpelphia and KCRW in Los Angeles have also picked up on it. More new music is planned by I Know Leopard to be released later in 2021. Special guests in Melbourne are now Eternal Crush, while Georgia June are supporting across both Sydney shows.
