Echoes Playlist
THE ALBUM LEAF: A TRANSLUCENT PAGE
The Album Leaf should be on the modern instrumental landscape and listened to in the same light as Brian Eno or Harold Budd. But this San Diego band has been flying under the radar, at least ours, for the last 8 years, releasing albums of dreamy, ambient, keyboard based music. While they've escaped our attention, they've drawn a global audience from the same indie scene that has touted bands like Bright Eyes and Sigur Ros. In fact, the Icelandic Sigur Ros invited The Album Leaf to open their last US tour and helped The Album Leaf record their new album, IN A SAFE PLACE (Sub Pop Records). We turn a translucent page when The Album Leaf's Jimmy LaValle talks about their instrumental dream pop.
