  <title>The Album Leaf + The Go Find at Circolo Magnolia, Segrate on 3 Mar 2010</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Circolo Magnolia

Siamo lieti di annunciare l'arrivo in Italia di una delle band rivelazione del panorama Indie mondiale: i THE ALBUM LEAF! Il nome dei THE ALBUM LEAF nasconde in realtà le innate capacità artistiche di un solo uomo dal nome Jimmy La Valle, che meglio ricorderete come ex-chitarrista dei Tristeza, seminale post-rock band della California. Con all'attivo quattro album in studio e innumerevoli performance live e collaborazioni di tutto rispetto con artisti del calibro di Black Heart Procession e Mogwai, finalemente Jimmy è pronto per il nuovo album in studio che vedrà la luce il prossimo Febbraio sotto Sub Pop Records. Una data imperdibile per tutti i fans di questo grande artista, che presenterà in esclusiva anche i pezzi del nuovo lavoro.]]></description>

  <title>The Album Leaf at BeatPol, Dresden on 10 Mar 2010</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: BeatPol

Mi 10.03. THE ALBUM LEAF (USA)
www.thealbumleaf.com
www.myspace.com/thealbumleaf
 
Jimmy LaValle ist beim ersten Lesen nicht unbedingt jedem ein Begriff. Liest man allerdings The Album Leaf, so weiß man worum es geht:
Minimalistisch vertonte Traumlandschaften - in einzigartiger Weise sphärisch und melancholisch. Um in diese einzutreten, entwickelt der klassisch ausgebildete Pianist LaValle zusammen mit seinen Freunden von Sigur Ros, Amiina, Tristeza, The Black Heart Procession u.a., gleichermaßen verspielte, wie epische musikalische Reisen in einen surrealen Raum.
Und im Zentrum dessen: The Album Leaf

kommendes Album: "A Chorus of Storytellers" (Vö 02/2010)
Label: Sub Pop
 
Einlass: 20.00 Uhr
Beginn:  21.00 Uhr
 
Tickets in allen bekannten Vorverkaufsstellen, online unter www.ticketonline.com]]></description>

  <title>The Album Leaf + The Go Find at The Thekla, Bristol on 21 Mar 2010</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: The Thekla

OH Productions presents The Album Leaf plus The Go Find

 A 10-year anniversary is a time to reflect. In a relationship, it's a chance to recount the first date; to remember the awkward pauses and the eventual connection. For musicians, a 10-year anniversary is a time to look back on their first album and see how far they've come from those earliest recordings. The new Album Leaf album A Chorus of Storytellers marks the first decade for the group led by Jimmy LaValle. In those 10 years, LaValle has gone from initial improvised home recordings to now five complete studio albums, from opening slots to leading an incredible world-touring band to headlining the Metamorphose festival in Japan and performing at the Hollywood Bowl with the Incredible String Band. LaValle’s well-earned reputation as a crafter of impeccable sonic imagery even led to a critically acclaimed show at the Seattle International Film Festival where The Album Leaf performed a live score for the 1927 silent film Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans.

The Album Leaf's debut, An Orchestrated Rise to Fall, was recorded by LaValle and a friend in his bedroom, and though it launched his ethereal dreamscape sound, the album recording quality is thin and rough. In contrast, A Chorus of Storytellers is the perfect showcase for LaValle's skill as a recording artist. The album's 11 tracks are crisp, clean, flowing and beautifully complex. That the completion of A Chorus of Storytellers coincides with the 10th birthday of the first Album Leaf album - over three years on from the release of the last album (the late-2006 release Into the Blue Again) - can be chalked up to two unrelated, but important, events: LaValle's wedding, and his conquering a bad case of writer's block. 'I took about a year off after everything was said and done with Into the Blue Again,' LaValle admits. 'It was the longest period I've been inactive since I was 15 or 16 years old.'

While he gives himself a pass for time spent on milestones in his personal life, LaValle feels guilt about his bout with writer's block. Under pressure to create a divergent record that still carried The Album Leaf's signature ambiance, LaValle grew frustrated, and the songs subsequently came to him very slowly. He wondered, 'How do I stay fresh, realising that The Album Leaf has been around for so long and that a lot of people wouldn't give a new record a chance?' First, he had to cleanse his musical palate, recording and touring with indie rock supergroup Magnetic Morning, which includes Sam Fogarino from Interpol and Swervedriver's Adam Franklin. When he felt he had enough material, he returned to Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, WA, the same studio where he created Into the Blue Again.

Support comes in the form of Morr Music's The Go Find.
