The Album Leaf

The Album Leaf是前Post-Rock樂隊(duì)Tristeza的吉他手Jimmy LaValle的個人樂隊(duì)，The Album Leaf的音樂中也有印象派作曲家如Claude Debussy的影子，其中又融入了很多現(xiàn)代‘氛圍音樂’的靜謐之美，電子部分和真實(shí)樂器難分彼此，一起營造了一個清澈的冥思世界。
The Album Leaf is the one-man solo project of Tristeza guitarist Jimmy LaValle. By taking elements of classical, jazz, and post-rock, LaValle constructs his pieces utilizing ambient noise, field recordings, and radio transmissions. A collaboration between Linkwork and Music Fellowship sparked the Album Leaf's first full-length, An Orchestrated Rise to Fall, in 1999. An EP (In an Off White Room) preceded the release of LaValle's second album, One Day I'll Be on Time, on Tiger Style in March 2001. The Album Leaf opened for Sigur Rós' first tour of the U.S. later that fall. By the time he began recording his third album, he'd secured the services of Sigur Rós' Iceland studios, along with several of its bandmembers. The results, In a Safe Place, appeared on Sub Pop in June 2004. The EP Seal Beach, originally issued in 2003 in Spain, appeared stateside in early 2005, and LaValle's next album, Into the Blue Again, followed in September 2006.
