Jimmy LaValle returns with his project The Album Leaf this year and he will release Between Waves on August 26th via Relapse Records. In support of the upcoming album, the band has also announced dates for a full US tour beginning in September, and continuing in December, which you can check out below.
Between Waves will be The Album Leaf’s sixth studio record, and their first since 2010’s A Chorus Of Storytellers (Sub Pop). After recording thirty tracks for the effort, eight cuts were chosen for the group’s Relapse Records’ debut. You can stream Dntel‘s (Jimmy Tamborello) remix of The Album Leaf’s “Never Far” below. The remix is the result of a long standing friendship between Lavelle and Tamborello that dates back to the late 90’s when they played in the San Diego band Strictly Ballroom. Dntel adds a dreamy shuffle to “Never Far”, while Lavelle passionately asserts “I’m always part of you/I’m never far from you”.
