The Album Leaf

CA, US · 1998–present · active
San Diego multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle launched The Album Leaf in 1998 as a solo project while playing guitar in post-rock band Tristeza, initially self-releasing limited cassette experiments in ambient texture and field recordings. The project gained international recognition after Sigur Rós took LaValle on tour, leading to the acclaimed Sub Pop release In a Safe Place (2004), a landmark of delicate, orchestrated instrumental ambient music. LaValle has continued releasing records under the name, expanding the project to include a full live band and occasional vocals.

There's A Light

DE · 2011–present · active
There's A Light formed in Lahr, in the Black Forest region of southwest Germany in 2011 as a studio project by David Christmann and Jonas Obermüller, expanding to a five-piece live band by 2013. Their sound combines expansive post-rock guitar architecture with ambient textures and occasional sung vocals, placing them at the more atmospheric end of the genre. Their self-recorded debut A Long Lost Silence arrived in 2018, and a worldwide deal with Napalm Records followed, yielding the more fully realized For What May I Hope? For What Must We Hope? in December 2021.
