The Album Leaf - New Album, New Shows

Jimmy Lavalle might be my favorite instrumentalist. I undoubtedly turn to the Album Leaf in all of my desperate attempts at studying and writing, and it always helps me work more effectively. Thank goodness there will finally be more music to listen to during those endless hours of reading, since the Album Leaf is readying their follow up to 2004's breakthrough, In A Safe Place.

The new album, Into the Blue Again, will see a release on September 12, right when the new school year is upon us. For us Californians, the Album Leaf has a few summer dates to debut their new material, before setting out on an extensive tour of the States and the world this fall.

Here are a few songs with a few more available for download on TAL's Myspace.
