The Leaf Library

The Leaf Library

The Leaf Library are guitarist Matt Ashton (formerly of Peel favourites Saloon), singer Kate Gibson, bass player Gareth Jones (Wintergreen), drummer / synth wizard Lewis Young, and guitarist Simon Nelson (Cosines). Formed in the mid 2000s, The Leaf Library have been making multi-layered, two chord drone pop, channeling the warm fuzz of Yo La Tengo, the spacious repetition of Talk Talk, and Movietone’s seaside melancholy to beautiful effect. Live they bring a volume and intensity to their performances that’s belied by the gentle drift of their records, with motorik drums busying themselves over a bed of constantly unfurling synth tones.
