A message from THE ALBUM LEAF:

It’s hard to believe the last show I performed was on Nov. 10, 2019. I did 4 shows performing solo, which was how I started making records as The Album Leaf. Me, playing solo. I’ve wanted to do a performance but I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to do it. I'm excited to play songs from my 20+ year catalog, but also share a couple songs from my latest film score release, SYNCHRONIC. I thought it’d be nice to take away the bells and whistles and just play. I hope you’ll join. Thanks!

-Jimmy

Over twenty years into a career that has seen JIMMY LAVALLE exercising his creativity across the realms of film scoring, sound collage, and rock music, via instrumental and vocal-driven compositions alike LAVALLE delivered yet another sonic triumph with an Original Motion Picture Score to 2020s SYNCHRONIC, his 10th full length feature film score.

LAVALLE is a musician and composer who uses synthesizers and effects to create a nuanced palette of textures and dense, evocative atmospheres. His music defies easy categorization, with a style that creates soothing melodies, highlighted by jolts of unexpected dissonance. While drawing inspiration from minimalist composers and sound manipulating, LAVALLE has developed his own unique method of decorating sonic space. In 1999, JIMMY LAVALLE founded THE ALBUM LEAF, a solo studio project turned full-fledged live band.

THE ALBUM LEAF has been making its mark as a soft-spoken innovator steadily and surely since 1999. The diversity of THE ALBUM LEAF’s music is second only to the diversity of the music that has inspired LaValle through the years — the artist has named everything from German Ambient/Psych bands like Can, Cluster and Harmonia to traditional mariachi music, electronic music and Brian Eno as some of his primary influences — and it’s clear that THE ALBUM LEAF is unafraid of thinking outside the box, both as an individual artist & within the larger scope of modern music.

About SYNCHRONIC

Available for preorder now, The Album Leaf’s SYNCHRONIC soundtrack features original music from the critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller by filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. The 26-track record etches an immersive soundscape underpinned by synth transmissions, organic strings, artful experimentation, and moments of cathartic energy. It runs the gamut of everything from sonic euphoria to mania as turbulent as the action on-screen. It also builds on an ironclad creative partnership between The Album Leaf and the directors as their third collaboration.

When New Orleans paramedics and longtime best friends Steve (Anthony Mackie) and Dennis (Jamie Dornan) are called to a series of bizarre, gruesome accidents, they chalk it up to the mysterious new party drug found at the scene. But after Dennis’s oldest daughter suddenly disappears, Steve stumbles upon a terrifying truth about the supposed psychedelic that will challenge everything he knows about reality—and the flow of time itself.
