Adult Leisure Releases New Song “Boy Grows Old”
Bristol-based alt-rock band Adult Leisure, consisting of Neil Scott (vocals), David Woolford (guitar), Luke Denham (bass) and Nathan Searle (drums), released a new song “Boy Grows Old” on September 5, 2025.
The song is the sixth and final pre-release single from their upcoming debut album “The Things You Don't Know Yet”, which is set to be released on October 3, 2025.
On the track, the band recorded the song with saxophonist John Waugh, who is known as a long-time collaborator for British pop band The 1975 and British singer-songwriter Sam Fender. It is their second collaboration, following “See Her” released back in May.
The track was written by David Woolford, Luke Denham, Nathan Searle, and Neil Scott. Produced by Ollie Searle.
The band guitarist David Woolford said of the song, “Our music often carries a sense of nostalgia, usually viewed through the lens of rose-tinted glasses. While some of our songs romanticise the past, 'Boy Grows Old' doesn't. The lyrics reflect our genuine experiences of youth and the difficulties that accompany growing older. Young people often face immense pressure, and this can be from their families. As we mature, we come to realise that our parents and guardians are not infallible; they are human too. They make mistakes, can sometimes be unkind, and are also finding their own way. This song is a snapshot of childhood, with the luxury of hindsight. It's a heartfelt message to our younger selves, recognising we can't change the past but, we can reflect on it and learn from our experiences.”- The debut album comprises 10 tracks, which the band recorded with long-term producer Ollie Searle at Humm Studios.
It is a collection of songs about people, love, loss and the feelings and experiences we carry through life.
Drummer Nathan Searle said of the album, “'The Things You Don't Know Yet' is our way of saying 'this is who we are'. We've lived through different moments, felt the same weight. We each have our own voice, but this album speaks as one. It's not just a collection of ideas; It's a reflection of where we've been as friends, as musicians, and as people trying to make sense of things. It's about the stuff we carry, the things we hide, and the moments we hold onto. Writing these songs helped us feel more connected to each other. Now we hope they do the same for you, we hope you find something here that feels like it was meant just for you. They were ours for a long time. Now they're yours.” - source : Apple Music
