Album Leaf frontman Jimmy LaValle was out of his comfort zone.
Not only did Jimmy LaValle play his shimmering Rhodes keyboard (and guitar) alongside Matthew Resovich (violin/glockenspiel), Brad Lee (bass/trumpet), and Dave LeBleu (drums), but also former band member Drew Andrews joined in on guitar.
Following the recent prominence of countless indistinguishable ambient bands, it is surprising that the world should need (or want) any more Post Rock bands ' regardless of any sub genre they may invent.
