It's not often I get pleasant surprises, but Californian post rock outfit The Album Leaf, a solo project by multi instrumentalist/producer Jimmy LaValle, and supported live by credible journeyman on the concert tour, was certainly an excellent one. I had no preconception about what I was about to experience when I headed to the Bentley Music Auditorium on Tuesday, 7th September 2010, to catch the relatively unknown (in wider circles) musical project, with fellow music writer Ho Fu Ken, who apparently is a big fan. I hadn't even had the time to listen to any of the tunes on the projects MySpace account , but I did however manage to get a very brief historical summary in Wikipedia, hours prior to the concert. So it was certainly a most pleasing evening for me when I "discovered" the hard driven yet soothing musical textures churned out by The Album Leaf, for the very first time. And before long, I found myself gravitating unconsciously into the engaging & colourful soundscape that was filling up the hall, along with the rest of the 200 plus mixed bag of fans who turned up to catch Jimmy & Co let loose on stage.
Full story & complete pics coming up.
