AN ORCHESTRATED RISE TO FALL

I enjoyed 'In a Safe Place' enough that I decided to check out the other releases from the band. This one is definitely not as strong, but it is still good. It has sort of an unifinished feel to it in parts. Jimmy LaVallee and The Album Leaf have a very slow, dreamy, melodic, style of Post Rock going here. The sound is dominated by keyboards and you don't really notice any guitars at all. If you are interested in the band, I would start with 'In a Safe Place'. If you are already converted, then this is a worthy addition.
