{"product_id":"leaf-library-after-the-rain-strange-seeds","title":"Leaf Library- After The Rain Strange Seeds (PREORDER) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLondon quartet The Leaf Library return with their bold new album After The Rain, Strange Seeds. A luminous collection of pastoral indiepop, drawing inspiration from suburban isolation, unreliable memories and the surreality of the weather. Their most immediate and melodic work to date, the richly evocative songs brim with chiming guitars, buzzing organs and warm, dulcet strings, evoking Yo La Tengo's more contemplative moments, The Clientele's autumnal jangle pop and early Stereolab's motorik melodicism. The sound of the album is defined by mixer John McEntire, whose work with Stereolab and Yo La Tengo (as well as a member of Tortoise\/The Sea And Cake) have been major inspirations to the band.The album explores themes of memory and place, albeit through an abstract haze - returning again and again to specific moments frozen in time: midsummer bright hot days in the Chilterns (\"Sun In My Room\"), meteorology and the strange movement of the weather (\"Colour Chant\"), red kites circling over suburban motorways (\"Some Circling\"), and the uncanny feeling of dusk and nighttime creatures on \"The Reader's Lamp\" (titled by celebrated film director Peter Strickland). The lyrics are vivid yet elliptical, strung with abstract ideas and imagery, conjuring a gently unsettling, though never unwelcoming atmosphere. Not quite trusting your own recollection of things, while marvelling at the oddness of the natural world, the album's title a good summation of the mix of strangeness and hope contained within.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Chant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill ; Moving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Reader's Lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun In My Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry A River In Your Mouth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatch Up, Isobel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Ship In The Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Circling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere Was Always A Golden Age\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 5057998866762\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Fika Recordings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47826542035165,"sku":"5057998866762","price":118.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4508755-3568220.jpg?v=1776698024","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/leaf-library-after-the-rain-strange-seeds","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
