THE ALBUM LEAF INTERVIEW: AMBIENCES OF LOVE

The Album Leaf is the vehicle of Jimmy LaValle, who creates moody, keyboard based ambiences full of melancholy and reflection. As LaValle reveals, Into the Blue Again was written in isolation, on the eve of a romance. LaValle talks about an introspective music which begins on a battered Fender Rhodes electric piano.
