The three members of Leagues — singer Thad Cockrell, guitarist Tyler Burkum, and drummer Jeremy Lutito — have been known to say that they're inspired not by artists, but by specific songs. That intense focus on individual tracks is clearly put to work on Leagues' debut album, You Belong Here. There's a cohesive sound to the record as a whole, but it sounds like the band deliberately pushed for each song to stand on its own. As a result, the album plays like a collection of singles, each track as catchy as the next. Hear two songs from Leagues' debut on this edition of World Cafe: Next.
