Ted Leo & Jeppesen Airplane - "Into the Conquering Sun"


It feels like it's been forever since we had new music from Ted Leo, and it kind of has been forever. His last album with the Pharmacists was back in 2010, and The Both (his band with Aimee Mann) released their album in 2014. Aside from a solo album in 2017, that's really been it. The now Rhode Island based artist is back with a new song under the name Ted Leo & Jeppesen Airplane. "Into the Conquering Sun" is their first single, and it's going to make people really thrilled. It has some massive Clash vibes, but with Leo's trademark catchy pop hooks. It's kind of like if folk punk was far more punk than folk, although this song isn't even remotely folk. There's also some guitar work that's almost prog, so "Into the Conquering Sun" is gloriously all over the place.

You can listen to "Into the Conquering Sun" below. The song is available now via Bandcamp. For more on Ted Leo, check out the artist's website.
