THE PERSIAN LEAPS Covers JEANE, B-Side to The Smiths' This Charming Man | Interview with Drew Forsberg
Indie Rock project The Persian Leaps presents "Jeane" an addictive rendition of one of the Smiths Lesser known tracks celebrates the band's colossal body of work and the impact it has had on so many people. Originally released in 1983 as the B-side to "This Charming Man" it was released on 7-inch vinyl and later released in several formats.
Based in Minneapolis, The Persian Leaps was founded by songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Drew Forsberg, who wrote solo under his name for years before he finally assembled a band in 2012. The single follows the Persian Leaps widely acclaimed "Machines for Living EP (2022) and the Drone Etiquette album (2021).
"This cover of 'Jeane' is my tribute to The Smiths, who have been an important influence on me since 1985. I never took guitar lessons, but I did buy a 'Meat Is Murder' songbook and learn to play the songs as best I could. Without the Smiths, The Persian Leaps would still exist, but we'd sound very different, with less jangle and happier lyrics," says Drew Forsberg.
