The Album Leaf's new album
2006-06-12 - S E P T E M B E R 12 - THE ALBUM LEAF - Into the Blue Again (CD/LP
)
In the wake of a solid 18 months spent touring in support of 2004’s In a
Safe Place, The Album Leaf’s Jimmy LaValle sequestered himself for six months
in his San Diego house solely to write for his next record. For LaValle—whose
wildly varied experience includes stints with instrumental artisans Tristeza,
post-hardcore spastics the Locust, contorted punk-funk ritualists GoGoGo
Airheart, shadowy conjurers The Black Heart Procession and Iceland’s celestial
menager ie Sigur Ros—such a surfeit of time was an unprecedented luxury. The
upshot of this well-earned downtime is his fourth full-length, Into the Blue
Again. Recorded in December 2005 at Bear Creek Studio, a converted
turn-of-the-century barn outside of Seattle, Into the Blue Again sees a return
to The Album Leaf’s conception with LaValle handling the bulk of the vocal and
instrumental duties. After tracking at Bear Creek, LaValle then took the
concentric billows of feathered keyboards, filmy strings and chiseled drums to
Iceland for three weeks of mixing to tape to maintain Brian Eno-informed
translucence. Having shared so much time and space with others on the road,
LaValle proves with the personally charged Into the Blue Again that The Album
Leaf resonates most profoundly when he goes it alone.
還到冰島混音,真是奢侈阿(忌妒)。
