Tonight!!! Tonight!!! Tonight!!!
The Album Leaf & Constellations @ the Larimer Lounge!!!! The Album Leaf is James Lavalle,and labels the Album Leaf as a solo project. I am not very familiar with their music, but from the couple whirls from their latest album , Into the blue again Sub Pop Records CD/LP, Released: Sept. 12, 2006Buy on iTunes Buy on Amazon, I can say that I will enjoy them and will refrain from making any descriptions until I listen to more of the album today and see the show tonight. From the Album Leaf ‘s Bio:
At the core of The Album Leaf (named for a Chopin piece) has always been LaValle’s melodic daydreams personified. But while 2004’s In a Safe Place featured embellishments from members of Sigur Rós and Amina (the Sigur Rós string section), Into the Blue Again sees a return to The Album Leaf’s conception and LaValle handling virtually all of the instrumental duties. LaValle’s few collaborators on Into the Blue Again are Josh Eutis of Telefon Tel Aviv, who aided additional drum programming and engineering on choice songs, The Black Heart Procession’s Pall Jenkins adding vocal harmonies on “Wherever I Go,” violinist Matt Resovich (who performs with The Album Leaf live, and also played on In a Safe Place), Drew Andrews adding additional guitar work on select songs (Drew also performs with The Album Leaf live) and Brigir Jon Birgisson, Biggi, engineer at Sigur Rós Sundlaugin studio.
I have been waiting to see Constellations since I saw them last summer and have been frantically looking for the album at local music shops and have not been able to score, but tonight is the night.
