powerful yet emotional voice goes straight to the heart. You've got to
Leaving You Now has been with us for a long time. We’ve all been in that situation, when the first real love of your life turns into your first heartbreak. We tried to really capture that feeling when we wrote this song - JATA about the song.

The single is the second one from their upcoming album ‘Coming of Age’ which explores the feelings of growing up, the fragility of life, love, and taking things for granted. Following a difficult few months when the band members had to experience the harsh reality of loss, Joe & The Anchor decided to process the events through music. During a hectic and focused period of time, the band wrote and recorded what would later develop into a full-length album, which will be released during the spring of 2022.

What can I say after listening to "Leaving You Now"?
I felt the pain! It's indeed an emotional music coming from the heart, so very true. The sound and tune reminds me of the music of the 90's. The vocals is superb , Joakim did a great interpretation of the straightforward lyrics of the song. Two thumbs up!
Here's what others say about their Music
“It’s an amazing soundscape that is sure to hook you and fill you with intoxicating and mesmerizing feels that will serve to push you forward into the unknown”. - Wolf in a suite
“The stirring vocals remind us of Sam Smith at times, making us yearn for more as we listen… the addictive beat sucks us in as we sing along with the poignant lyrics. The new track is powerful, heartfelt, and gives us all the feels!” - Gas Mask Magazine
“ The EP’s strongest track is without a
doubt Blue, which I would like to say is just a pure feeling of joy…” -Nöjesguiden
“(...) remember the name of this
talented band, to watch very closely.” - The independent spirit
“A hedonistic mix of early 90s synths, americana melodies and indie
songwriting pivots Joe & The Anchor at a metaphorical and audible
crossroads that reflects the real-life circumstances that inspired this honest
single.” – Unrecorded
“Melodic harmony gravitationally flies over space and the beautiful
timbre of the singer’s voice adds color and volume to the composition.” – Indie rock music

Joe & The Anchor is
formed by childhood friends JOAKIM ROSENLUND, ROBIN ZHANG, VIKTOR EDSJÖ, RUBEN
SONESSON from Malmö, Sweden. With their own sound and a distinct image, they
produce modern, guitar-driven indie pop which resembles a mixture of LANY and
The 1975 with inspiration from the timelessness of greats such as Fleetwood Mac
and Del Amitri. Everything they produce - music, videos, graphic designs etc. -
they do independently and together as a band.
Earlier this year they released
their EP ‘Blue’ which was a huge milestone for the band. It helped them gain
their incredibly supportive fan base called ‘Sailors’ and recognition abroad.
The EP got plays from one of Philippines largest radio station “Wish 107.5” and
the track‘ Wait On Me' debuted #3 on the US based internet radio show “Pop
Smash” Radios weekly top 10 with 892K votes (it was on the top 10 for 6 weeks).
The incredibly high votes show how engaged and supportive their fan base 'Sailors'
is! The band also played Sweden's largest digital festival ‘Låt Live Leva’ as
well as for TEDx (watch snippets of both performances here).
**** Many have asked about Robin, so we thought it would be appropriate to give you an update. Robin is currently focusing a lot of his time on his education and didn’t feel he could put as much time and effort into the band as before. So, he couldn’t attend on our photoshoots, meet and greets and music videos but he's very much still in the band and especially looking forward to going on tour with us .
