Perils From The Sea is a collaboration between Jimmy LaValle of the Album Leaf and Mark Kozelek. It’s a set of long, somber songs that melds LaValle’s spacious, orchestral electronic instrumentation with Kozelek’s forthright and world-weary vocals. They’re transfixing, often beautiful, sometimes unsettling. The collaboration grew out of mutual admiration. Kozelek had seen LaValle play a few times, both in his old band Tristeza and the Album Leaf, and was impressed; and he is a fan, especially, of Torey’s Distraction, last year’s soundtrack album from the Album Leaf. LaValle will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on him and Kozelek.
LaValle: Hands down one of the best reverb pedals available. And cheap! I have one of these patched into my patch bay for use on anything. I’ve had an older version of this pedal; they’ve all been great. My first one created some weird ground buzz, so I got the new(est) one (compact) that runs on regular nine-volt in and have had zero problems with it. Great reverb sound; sounds good on anything.
