I love The Leaf Library (see my first post about them here ), and I also love that they have found their way to my favourite site for bands, Bandcamp . From there, you can download two free releases from the band, their single "Losing Places", which also features a brilliant remix from Isan + their BEKO single that was released on BEKO DSL earlier this year. 4 good songs to please your ears with! The Leaf Library will be playing in London next Tuesday 13th July on Buffalo Bar [...]
The Leaf Library, est une formation emmenée par l'ex Saloon, Matt Ashton, anglaise, et qui semble avoir la pop comme science infuse, c'est pourquoi, je vous propose ici, l'intégralité de l'album qui n'est pas encore sorti en streaming, et il y à là quelque très grands morceaux... c'est suave, et ça saisit les tripes comme une veille d'exam, bref c'est de la musique qui parle à l'âme. Et une très belle reprise du défunt Mark Linkous, Du gout et du respect pour les anciens, Saloon est Mort, Vive The Leaf Library. [...]
The Leaf Library is one of my favourite new bands, and I can't get enough of their music these days. Their guitarist and founder, Matt Ashton , used to play in another favourite of mine, Saloon .

Saloon has also given life to two other very good bands: Adam "Arthur" Cresswell started the electro-pop duo Arthur and Martha , and Alison [...]

So there's a lot of railing against the Beeb and the threat to 6Music and yaddah yaddah you know the script don't you. Sadly, and somewhat ironically, we spend so much time talking about the state of the Beeb and the loss their support of small bands will represent, that we actually forgot to talk [...]
