Leanne Macomber is an American singer, artist and performance artist, whose name has become synonymous with experimental aesthetics in indie music of the 2010s. She became famous for her participation in the Young Ejecta project, an electronic—syntwave duo where her ethereal vocals were combined with the melancholic beats of her partner Zachary Cole Smith. However, her nude appearances in the band’s music videos attracted even more attention.

"But she insists that the shock of female nudity, the discomfort that it so often evokes in audiences, can be a tremendous asset to an artist. Back when she played in a rowdy punk girl band, she and her bandmates would wear handcuffs, mustaches, and be in various stages of undress onstage. After a show, a male friend who was into hardcore music criticized her, asking in earnest why women were always getting naked onstage. It was as though he was presuming that there was something inherent to women that makes them want to, or feel like they need to, bare all for audiences when performing. But, as Macomber explains, “It isn’t really that we’re getting naked, or that women have this overwhelming desire to be naked onstage, and I’m not even trying to say that we’re trying to be one of the boys by doing it because, like, ‘they can take off their shirts, why can’t we’… I think that there is a really interesting vulnerability to play with when you’re a woman, naked, and it simultaneously can be very powerful. So it’s like this really strange, like you shock people, get everyone upset, but then they can see that you are just a human, just a woman, just a little girl, or you’re scared … Or the next minute, you’re a fucking monster and you’re taking over the room.”
