release the bats #18.5 LEAFES TAPE 6 songs that marks the debut from this new band hailing from the dark forests of Småland, Sweden. Acoustic singer/songwriter anthems with a beautiful lo-fi production (this is NOT a Toto album). From the quiet opening track Snow, via the small town frustration and desperation in the masterpiece Old Town to the long and somewhat hopeful ending track Sweet Joy (that in the end bursts out in a intense pysch-explosion), Leafes aren´t afraid of trying new things. Lots of the parts seems to have been improvised during the recording but you really can´t tell. Catchy tunes that will have you longing for more in no time (and consider the speed of the Leafes working process so far you could probably expect tons of new songs very soon!). Fans of early Microphones, early Mirah, early Will Oldham, early everything!; take note. The cassette comes packaged in a plastic case with a handmade J-card that differs a bit from each copy (what they have in common is that they all have a pretty dirty and rough look to them), handnumbered out of 40. OUT OF PRINT! Tracklist: 1. Snow. 2. Old Town. 3. Heavy Eyes, Sleepy Head. 4. Golden Bridges. 5. Fest I Ladan. 6. Sweet Joy. PRESSING INFO! 40 made. #ed. 20 black cassettes/20 white cassettes. http://www.myspace.com/leafes
