From The Desk Of The Album Leaf: “True Stories”

In the time that’s elapsed since its last proper album, 2010’s A Chorus Of Storytellers, Jimmy LaValle’s the Album Leaf has popped up with a soundtrack release and a collab with Sun Kil Moon, but the entity’s (the new Between Waves is the first A. Leaf LP to be made as a band effort) exploration of all things ambient, electronic and organically understated when it comes to both instrumental endeavors and the application of the aforementioned to a very contemporary-sounding indie-pop is what prevails on Between Waves. The Album Leaf will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our review of Between Waves.

TrueStories

Matt Resovich: This is one of my favorite films, and I shamelessly quote it way too often. Problem is hardly anyone knows it, and that blows my mind. Maybe because it predates our love of “documentaries” by several years or maybe because it was eclipsed by the great success of Stop Making Sense, which redefined the concert film and blew people away. But there are avid Talking Heads fans who’ve never seen it or even heard of it. Heck everyone’s favorite band Radiohead are named for a song in the film. And it has a killer cast, plus my favorite John Goodman role ever.
