The Album Leaf

Jimmy LaValle’s The Album Leaf has spun from solo outlet to full band & back in its 25+ years of artistry. His acclaimed catalog spans releases for labels such as Sub Pop, City Slang, Relapse, The Numero Group, & others. He also composes music for film & television, scoring 20+ projects since 2009. The cinematic sensibilities of The Album Leaf were present from the beginning. His 1999 debut introduced the start of a signature sound: melodic & meditative electro-organic soundscapes. He refined it for his 2001 LP, which caught the ear of Sigur Rós, who’d invite LaValle on tour, propelling The Album Leaf from his part-time DIY project to a full-fledged live act. He recorded In a Safe Place & mixed his next two albums in their Icelandic studio. From there, The Album Leaf’s touring & collaborative history has intersected with many like-minded artists, capturing a distinct boom for emotive, soaring music that reverberates across today’s listening landscape. His seventh LP arrived in 2023 via Nettwerk Records. FUTURE FALLING found LaValle shaping slightly darker, more spacious, and synth-driven songs with contributions from Bat For Lashes, Kimbra, and many others.  He followed this up with ROTATIONS, an instrumental ambient project soothing & calming in nature. One that displayed his creative process, ROTATIONS is perfect for sleep, meditation, & relaxation with its ambient & atmospheric sound. Now, The Album Leaf prepares for a new chapter, one that will be revealed soon...
