I’m really excited to be sharing 'Dancing Don't Feel Right', the new single from alt-indie quartet Adult Leisure, which was released on February 28th 2025.
'Dancing Don't Feel Right', recorded and mixed with Ollie Searle at Humm Studios and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Duran Duran, Coach Party) is a refreshing dose of escapism which feels both incredibly current yet built to last, their signature brand of genre-fluidity ensuring they exist completely outside of time. The track urges listeners to leave their inhibitions and responsibilities at the door and lean into the things they shouldn't.
On the track's lyrical inspirations, the band says, "We wanted to create a track that asks listeners to step outside of line, ditch their inhibitions, and give in to the temptation of doing exactly what they shouldn't. It's a narrative of inner conflict, desire and rebellion. The track captures the feeling of being on the edge: stuck in a moment where you know you should hold back, but something - or someone - won't let you. 'Dancing Don't Feel Right' is our way of ignoring responsibility, silencing the voice of reason, and giving in to the forbidden thrill of indulgence. The song is about the urge to let loose, to break out of the mould and do the bad thing."

A music video for the single will be released on Friday 21st March. As with their previous music video for celebrated single 'Kiss Me Like You Miss Her', the video was shot on an iPhone and edited by the band themselves in its entirety, opting for a 720x720 aspect ratio to replicate the feel of a vintage film.
Discussing the video, bassist Luke Denham says, "The music video is a fun, energetic celebration of letting loose and embracing the joy of movement. As with our previous video, it reflects the DIY spirit of an emerging band navigating rising costs. Set on a dance mat within an arcade, we aimed to capture a carefree dancer moving with abandon, perfectly mirroring the song's playful but rebellious theme.”
