Absent Without Leave is the solo project of the 27 year-old George Mastrokostas, based in Athens, Greece. Recording everything himself in his home-studio, he creates a melancholic sound that covers a multitude of styles such as electronica, post-rock, shoegaze and ambient.
To date, he has released his music on labels such as distant noise [Uk], unlabel [Uk], chat blanc [Canada], duotone [Japan], bsbta [Denmark], fuzzy panda [USA], symbolic interaction [Japan], october man [Uk], friend of mine [Japan] and also on his own label sound in silence [Greece] and has collaborated for split releases with artists like port-royal, yellow6, kimonophonic, lope, doogie and cono norte 3.
He has played several gigs in Greece at various venues, including synch festival 2007 (among other artists like mum, !!!, front 242, fischerspooner, alexander hacke and many others), double-bill concerts with port-royal and millimetrik, support gigs for 65daysofstatic and section 25 (from legendary factory records) and has been personally invited by artists like piano magic, god is an astronaut, manyfingers and sigmatropic to open their concerts.
He has composed the soundtrack of the short film the crossroads (directed by Petros Sofikitis) and his music has been played on some of the best radio stations worldwide like BBC 6 Music, Resonance FM and others too.
