TENDER SITUATION
Remove Records: Tell us somethings about yourself and your project.
Leah: I primarily play guitar and drums in Career Club with dream-human
Mark Sleeman, but for my independent tunes, I use both
monikers Tender Situation and Cool Slimes interchangeably.
Music for Rollerblading was made during winter of 2019
when I was itching to produce something that sounded like
a heartbeat, liquid tv, and fleeting nostalgia. This is a common theme in
most of my recordings & video projects.

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in music?
Anytime you have the chance to create and share something - do it.
It’s profoundly vulnerable and super courageous to convey pieces of yourself -
thank you in advance for doing so ♡
What messages or themes are you trying to convey through your music?
Repetitive bliss ... soundtrack of the mind!
What are you working on next?
Due to the current necessity of social distancing & show cancellations,
Mark and I are scheming a potential CC self-produced
basement recording release - stay tuned ...
How do you feel about the future of music/art?
Scene report: Detroit’s gliding over a hotspot spitting out
impressively melodic magma - I’m reveling in the current wellspring of
talent that surrounds us and am looking forward for what’s to come. ♡♡♡
