Wolfe Pac: Out of My Mind, Indie Pop From Leon Hartley
Some indie pop projects announce themselves loudly. Wolfe Pac does not. The project, from Leon Hartley, a former guitarist of Some Kind Of Leader, builds its case one single at a time, and "Out of My Mind" is the latest reason to pay attention.
"Out of My Mind" was released October 27, 2025 as a single, running 4 minutes and 12 seconds, via 4385074 Records DK. It follows earlier Wolfe Pac releases "All The Same" from 2022 and "Simple Life" from 2024, according to the project's Spotify discography. That slow, steady pace suits the music's framing on Spotify, where Hartley describes Wolfe Pac as indie pop songs in different guises.
What that means in practice is pop songwriting that puts melody first, without dressing it up in a scene or a trend. "Out of My Mind" is built to be lived with, a song that sounds small on first listen and larger on the third. Fans of thoughtful, guitar led indie pop, in the lineage of acts like The Shins, Death Cab for Cutie, and Alvvays, will find a familiar warmth here, even as Wolfe Pac keeps its own shape. The appeal is not a gimmick. It is a songwriter trusting a tune to do the work.
There is also a quiet environmental thread in the project's own description, which ends with the line "There is no Planet B." That note does not turn the single into a lecture. It frames Wolfe Pac as a project made by someone thinking about the world outside the song as well as the song itself.
No live dates for Wolfe Pac were found while preparing this draft, so this is a listening recommendation first, not a gig guide. That is fine. Some artists earn their audience record by record, and Wolfe Pac is doing exactly that.
