: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: If Sing LeafÆs new album feels like itÆs caught between worlds :,
: itÆs because itÆs intended to be just that. As its title :
:' suggests, this is music for another place, existing as its own ':
,: cosmos, a colourful work of strange sounds and visions, pulled :,
: from the mind and movements of its signature :
:' creator, David Como. Released this year via ComoÆs Tin Angel ':
,: Records home, the new Sing Leaf album offers a spellbinding :,
: journey through eight inspired and beautifully idiosyncratic :
:' tracks. ':
,: :,
: A persistent and prolific songwriter, Not Earth was written in :
:' ComoÆs home, in the living during the quiet of the day, in the ':
,: bedroom while his wife watched TV; brave new worlds created from :,
: the quiet and comfort of his own domestic life. As always, Como :
:' plays every instrument on the record, recording, mixing, ':
,: editing all the work himself before sending the songs to :,
: frequent musical confidant Sandro Perri, who also mastered the :
:' record. ':
,: :,
: Initially built around the idea of a ôdisney, sci-fi, alien :
:' landscape visionö, æNot EarthÆ also finds a balance in its more ':
,: meditative moments; for every jagged moment of inspired :,
: eccentricity, a stretch of measured stillness. ôMusic for me has :
:' never been about crafting the best sounding song, or even the ':
,: most appealing song,ö Como says. ôItÆs more about honouring the :,
: spark. If I can block out the other noise and not think about :
:' where a song will end up, or who will hear it, then I can ':
,: follow that and it's like the song is just coming through me.ö :,
: :
:' Wanting to work on pure inspiration alone, Como relied on gut ':
,: instinct, allowing songs to come and go, to be penned in :,
: half-thought and stay that way, learning to trust the sparks of :
:' creativity as they came to him. ôThe song Forever Green came ':
,: into my head fully-formed while sitting in the backseat, on a :,
: road trip with my wife,ö he says, an example of this process. ôI :
:' was looking out the window and I just started receiving the ':
,: song. Within minutes it was there, completely. Where did it come :,
: from? Why did it come to me? You can't think about it or ask :
:' about it, you just submit to it or you lose the song.ö ':
,: :,
: As such, thereÆs an expected ebb and flow to Not Earth, the :
:' whole thing drifting between tender ditties such as æLittle ':
,: MagicÆ before spiralling off into the more experimental pastures :,
: found on the likes of æMagneticÆ or the multi-layered :
:' closing-track æOut Of The DreamÆ. ':
,: :,
: Informed both by the written work of Richard Brautigan (ôIÆve :
:' always tried to align my life with that feeling I found in his ':
,: books; the strange, psychedelic, childlike-wonderö) and the :,
: murky magic of Mark Linkous, who Como cites his biggest :
:' inspiration (ôYou could tell he wasn't self-editing too much, ':
,: always just following the inspirationàö) æNot EarthÆ is both a :,
: reflection of the lush, deep world that provides its :
:' hand-painted cover art - Tarot imagery and all - and also a ':
,: reflection of the unique mind who brought the whole thing into :,
: fruition. :
:' ':
,: ôIf we're here on Earth, then what is not Earth?,ö Como asks. :,
: ôOld principles from old treatises; polarity, vibration, rhythmà :
:' I was playing with a lot of different energies and ideas, ':
,: placing them in the art and in the lyrics. But If you don't see :,
: or hear them it doesn't matter - as long as you see or hear :
:' something.ö ':
