This Must Be The Place – The Dead Leaves
 |
The Dead Leaves are a band from Melbourne, Australia. While initially formed in 2009 to play and record lead-vocalist Matt Joe Gow’s solo work, The Dead Leaves (featuring guitarist Andrew Pollock, bassist Cameron Grindrod and drummer Joel Witenberg) have evolved far beyond a solo artist’s backing band. In January 2011, the band began recording their debut album at BJB Studios in Sydney, Australia, with producers Scott Horscroft (The Presets, |
Birds of Tokyo,The Panics) and Eric J Dubowsky (Art vs Science, Weezer). The album is due for release in mid- 2011.
The twelve songs were recorded by the band during the late spring of 2010 (flipseasons for you Northern Hemisphere folks). The band is now signed to Liberation Records, home to The Temper Trap and Little Red. Guest vocalists on the album include Gin Wigmore (ʻAlbum of the Yearʼ New Zealand Music Awards 2010) on “This Living” and guest vocalist Emma Louise on “Changing”. Emma is an exciting up-and-coming artist whose new EP “Insomnia” was produced by Mark Myers of The Middle East.
The Dead Leavesʼ music is a raw and passionate collision of the dark brooding sonics of Joy Division and Grizzly Bear, meeting up with the dank and roomy basement sound of Band Of Horses and Tom Petty – all culminating on a rainy Saturday afternoon with the buzz and haze of several bottles of red wine.
“The washy guitars and the vocals are very beautiful, and overall a really well puttogether song…it’s a great mature performance and recording.” Amelia Chappelow Triple J
