The Album Leaf has returned with its fifth studio album, A Chorus of Storytellers. For the first time, Jimmy LaValle recorded the album with the entire touring band rather than recording everything himself as he’d done in the past. He also had help from Sigur Rós’ Birgir Jon Birgisson, who remixed A Chorus of Storytellers in Reykjavik. The end result is a beautiful set of songs that transport you to an icy, dramatic place in the future. LaValle’s music uses layers of sounds and instruments with swelling percussion and low-key harmonies to create an album that has a cool cinematic feel. – Written by DBosket
