From The Desk Of The Album Leaf: Little Airplanes

In the time that’s elapsed since its last proper album, 2010’s A Chorus Of Storytellers, Jimmy LaValle’s the Album Leaf has popped up with a soundtrack release and a collab with Sun Kil Moon, but the entity’s (the new Between Waves is the first A. Leaf LP to be made as a band effort) exploration of all things ambient, electronic and organically understated when it comes to both instrumental endeavors and the application of the aforementioned to a very contemporary-sounding indie-pop is what prevails on Between Waves. The Album Leaf will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our review of Between Waves.

Matt Resovich: I love airplanes. I alway have, but they are the province of the rich and even flying fancy toy planes is beyond me. But there is an online community dedicated to building and flying planes made from cheap materials such as foam board, hot glue and packing tape. At Flite Test you can find free printable plans, build videos and lots more info on RC flying. Making things that look good and function well really satisfies the building bug too.
