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: I love all things noodles. It’s my favorite thing to eat. Although Asian food is hands down my favorite, I can get down with pasta, too. Udon, soba, ramen and vermicelli noodles are my top favorites. I’m in heaven food-wise when I tour throughout Asia. I can eat soup, curry noodles, cold noodles, veggies and noodles, stir-fried noodles all day long. I make them all the time at home, too. I love ’em.
