Turning Over a New Leaf
I’ve embarked upon a mission to find a song that has been haunting me since I heard it (once, and while barely awake) more than three months ago. Because the song in question was one of several casualties in a file-transfering accident, I wasn’t able to listen again, and I never managed to determine its origin. Fie.
Today the hunt turned up The Album Leaf, and I think it must have been one of his beauties. Being this close is perhaps more frustrating than just thinking I’d never find it… Meanwhile, I’m totally entranced by his Seal Beach EP, just released in this country with five additional live tracks.
I may attempt to drag my sorry self to the Independent to see him play tomorrow night, as I think there are far worse things to do while sick than lose oneself in lovely sounds; that’s what I’m telling myself, at least. Plan B: stay home and watch this video over and over again. The little creatures remind me of the adorable Kodama in Princess Mononoke, and of course anything that features a little rattie, even if only a brief cameo right at the end, wins my heart!
UPDATE 4/19/2005: Eureka, thanks to the Curmudgeon! One more clue and I was able to find the song. Turns out it is not a product of The Album Leaf after all; Greg Davis is responsible.
