Kiran Leonard's album "A Bit of Violence With These Old Engines" is an experimental and genre-defying work of art. The album features 10 tracks that showcase Leonard's unique style of blending together elements of folk, rock, and experimental music.

The album opens with the track "Living With Your Ailments," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its intricate guitar work and Leonard's captivating vocals. The album then shifts gears with the track "Unreflective Life," which features a more driving and upbeat rhythm.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Universe Out There Knows No Smile," which features Leonard's signature use of unconventional instrumentation, including a trumpet and a xylophone. The track builds to a chaotic and frenzied climax that showcases Leonard's skill as a composer and arranger.

Another standout track is "Legacy of Neglect," which features Leonard's haunting vocals over a sparse and atmospheric instrumental arrangement. The track is a beautiful showcase of Leonard's ability to create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability in his music.
