The Album Leaf

Jimmy LaValle is a classically-trained and prolific pianist and musician, whose ambitious projects have involved San Diego’s seminal ambient piano-rock outfit Tristeza, the noise punk of The Locust, the beat-driven GoGoGo Airheart and the gloomy, brooding epic-core outfit Black Heart Procession.

La Valle has released critically acclaimed solo work as THE ALBUM LEAF. With the help of his hosts, including members of Sigur Rós, Mum, Amina and Black Heart Procession, LaValle was able to craft a new album in Iceland that ventures into new, at times indie-electronic territory. Chillingly delicate and more pop-based than ever before, "IN A SAFE PLACE" masterfully negotiates the spaces between minimal electronic music and melancholy instrumental neo-rock. The inclusion of vocals from The Black Heart Procession’s Pall Jenkins, Sigur Rós’ Jon Thor Birgisson, and LaValle himself is one of the striking new strides that resulted from this collaborative event. The new record "IN A SAFE PLACE" will be released on City Slang.
