The Original Leap Year is the second album by Emm Gryner, released on Gryner's independent Dead Daisy Records.[3]
Gryner funded the album with prize money from Standard Broadcasting's National Songwriting Competition. The album, which was credited as a thematic song cycle inspired by the zodiac, attracted significant media attention in Canada, and Gryner was offered a major label deal with Mercury Records. She rerecorded some of the same songs for her 1998 major label debut Public, although that album also included several newer songs.[4]
Critical reception
[edit]AllMusic wrote: "Simple in its approach and running the gamut from raw power to quiet simplicity, The Original Leap Year proves its beauty without the makeup of a major studio effort."[2]
