iTunes Review
From the onset of the majestic, cinematic album opener, “The Light,” it’s apparent that this will be a smooth voyage into mind-swelling vistas and heart-breaking sundowns. All that’s needed is an IMAX screen. Multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle, who’s logged time with Tristeza, GoGoGo Airheart and the Locust, works with sound as if it were a drug that can medicate moods. Which, apparently, it can. Into the Blue Again’s ten tracks are meditation odes delivered for calming effect from a songwriter who knows how to build melodies into pure atmosphere. Recorded partially in Iceland at Sigur Ros’ Sundlaugin studio, the album shares the Ros’ similar shimmering, ethereal tones. Piano notes resonate in echo chambers, with guitars. violins and layers of keyboards swirling about while rhythms subtly shift behind them. Three tracks (“Always For You,” “Writings On the Wall,” “Wherever I Go”) employ vocals and all are left buried in the mix to heighten the elusive, mysterious mood. It’s a dreamstate, really, the line between what’s real and imagined perfectly blurred with a pulsing purity.
Customer Reviews
lively
a hopless yet uplifting album that captures the struggles and triumphs of life and puts it into sweet beats and beautiful melody
Great Album
Not quite as intricate as the Leafs previous albums but still amazingly good. Great music to relax, make love, study, or just let your mind wander. Red-Eye is a stand-out track with an almost hip-hop drum track. If you like the sound of the Rhodes piano and simple beautiful beats this album is for you. The Album Leaf is a reminder that there is still beautiful and exciting music to be made at a time when other artists seem so depressing and pessimistic.
Amazing Album
If you like this kind of music, it doesn't get much better than this. Relaxing,beautiful,rhythmic.
