Product Description
CD Description
The Album Leaf is the brainchild of Jimmy LaValle, whose music is a curious mixture of moody keyboard and guitar motifsand stark electronic effects. This combination yields an atmospheric patois that is both exotic and strangely familiar.
A collection of brooding instrumental works, SEAL BEACH represents an introspective journey for LaValle. The openingtrack, "Malmo", blends swirling record-player needle noise with a mechanistic backbeat and a repeating keyboard riff (played on a Fender Rhodes). The less melancholic title track also prominently features the Rhodes. This time, LaValle's use of bell tones makes the Rhodes sound more like a celesta,drenched in vibrato. Other tracks such as "One Minute" and "Last Time Here" change character altogether as a folksy acoustic guitar takes over. Even on these pieces, LaValle uses ambient effects to maintain a large, open sound. The use of violin, drums, and other percussion adds further colour to many of these tracks. Despite the contributions of several guest musicians, SEAL BEACH is really an intimate one-man show.
