Watch the new video for AU's 'Solid Gold'
Published 1 October 2012 by BWL

AU have released a new video for 'Solid Gold' taken from this year's Both Lights album. The partially autobiographical clip was directed by Italian Roberto Ortu, capturing nostalgic emotions of brotherhood, and was premiered on Stereogum.com earlier. There are still a few copies of the 'Solid Gold' 7" in our shop, both tracks feature celebrated saxophonist Colin Stetson.

Later this month, AU begin a North American tour including shows with Zammuto (ex-The Books). You can see all shows here.

Jherek Bischoff scores
Published 2 October 2012 by BWL


Jherek Bischoff is to release an instrumental version of his recent Composed album, entitled Scores: Composed Instrumentals. This version of the album may omit the vocals of David Byrne, Caetano Veloso et al, but it offers a new and rewarding way to explore Jherek's work as a composer, arranger and producer. Unusually, this digital only release also provides an opportunity to get your hands on the actual musical score as a series of pdf booklets with the download.

The 'deluxe' version of the album, including the score transcripts, will be available exclusively through Leaf's online store from this week. The 'standard' album will be also released through iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc from October 22, coinciding with the beginning of Jherek's European tour with Amanda Palmer (see our live page). You can read Jherek's take on the controversy surrounding Amanda's decision to crowdsource musicians for the current tour here.

Jherek is encouraging fans to record versions of his songs and post them on his Facebook and Twitter accounts, with prizes for the best versions.

For more information on the original version of the album, take a look at the Composed page on the website.

October's entry in Sebastian Rochford's audio diary
Published 26 October 2012 by RM


Celebrated cellist Oliver Coates is Sebastian Rochford's partner in crime for October's Takeaway single. Their brooding, cinematic track, ‘The Boat Sails To A Blind Horizon’, is described by Coates as “A voyage to uncharted Scottish isles, a kind of transplanted Heart of Darkness.”

Coates won the Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist Award 2011 and has collaborated with artists as diverse as Micachu, MF Doom, Leo Abrahams, Steve Reich and Jonny Greenwood.

‘The Boat Sails To A Blind Horizon’ can be streamed and purchased on the Takeaway's Bandcamp (or from the Leaf shop) along with a remix from Chris Sharkey (trioVD, Acoustic Ladyland).
