For my inaugural post, I'm writing about my band of the moment - The Album Leaf. There are elements of Nordic acts like Sigur Ros and Nils Petter Molvaer in the music, but true to the 80's resurgence we are seeing, there are bits of Brian Eno, and even some esoteric and instrumental New Order tracks. The guy behind the music is guitarist Jimmy LaValle, who has shown an ability to morph his talents into a bunch of different sounds. He is also part of the punky sounding The Locust, as well as the more ambient sounding Tristeza.
Anyway, on to the music.
Here is a rather horrible video to a great song from his latest album Into the Blue Again (just press the little play button on the left):
Some examples from the very ambient Seal Beach EP album:
The Album Leaf – Seal Beach
The Album Leaf – Brennivin
stuff from their latest album can be found on their myspace page here.
