The Album Leaf Shares Final Single “Prologue” Before New Album ‘Future Falling’- Out May 5th
Tomorrow, Los Angeles-based electronic artist The Album Leaf shares the final single, “Prologue,” from his forthcoming LP, FUTURE FALLING, out May 5th. When asked about the cinematically experimental ambient-electronic track, visionary Jimmy LaValle comments, “Prologue is a new beginning. The tonal idea started with an unused noise pad I made for a film I was working on and paired with a simple Buchla loop. There isn’t much to prologue with instrumentation, but the musical journey weaves us through chaos culminating in some sort of peace. The irony of this is I wrote this song on March 5th, 2020. One week before we shut down. Some sort of premonition of what was to come.”

Vulnerability and catharsis: Faith Marie’s music provides an outlet for processing difficult emotions and experiences
Written by Faith, “More Than I Am” is about the process of allowing yourself to let go of your inner demons. She elaborates; “up until now, this EP has been about delving into my darkness, whereas this single expresses how it was a struggle for me to let go of my demons because I was worried it was the only thing that made people connect with me. If I lost that, I wasn’t sure who I’d be. I built a whole world on this darkness and I felt like healing was betraying that, but the truth is, I’m so much more than my darkness as well as my healing. Sometimes we get tunnel vision and forget that no matter what you believe, we are truly a part of this infinite universe and we’re not tied to any sort of emotion or anything for that matter. Remembering that from time to time can really put things into perspective and help to have deep self-compassion.”
