Concert Preview: The Album Leaf, Young Galaxy and Belong @ Diesel Thursday May 17th
Jimmy
LaValle's vast resume includes stints with Tristeza, The Locust,
GoGoGo Airheart, The Blackheart Procession, and Sigur Ros. The
Album Leaf is a solo project of his that he will be bringing to Diesel on
the South Side on Thursday May 17th. The Album Leaf's previous effort, In A
Safe Place, was less personally charged for Lavalle and more of a band effort.
There was some level of mainstream success with music from that particular album
featured on The O.C and CSI: Miami. "On Your Way" in particular was
one of my favorite tracks for months. "Into The Blue Again" sees LaValle
again handling the bulk of the vocal and instrumental duties. Young Galaxy is a Canadian indie pop outfit comparable at times to Slowdive, Luna, Cocteau Twins and Galaxy 500. Stephen Ramsay (vocals/guitar) was a former member of Stars. Their self-titled debut was released on April 27th, 2007. Opening is Belong from New Orleans.
