RELEASE DATE!

Theia Mania (The Leaf Library's Sing Around You remix)



The Leaf Library live in London and make occasional droney pop music in the vein of Yo La Tengo and Broadcast. (They all love other music too including Sonic Youth, Steely Dan The Misfits and keyboard era Miles Davis but that doesn't always make it in.) They have almost released music on a number of indie labels and their one and only album to date, 2011's 'Different Activities, Similar Diversions' was self-released (with a little help from the Proper Songs label). After a couple of brief appearances on stage and an appearance on the WIAIWYA Olympics compilation (with the track 'Badminton House', they took some time to do other things like working and making babies. The band's next release will be as part of the WIAIWYA singles club in 2014 and is likely to be called 'The Greater Good'.

Theia Mania (Haiku Salut remix)

and this brings us onto the remixes for the third single to be taken from Victoria and Jacob's debut long player. the BEAUTIFUL Theia Mania... the first mix comes from Haiku Salut... and this is an extremely exciting thing...

this weekend you can see Haiku Salut playing at indietracks (and you should, oh, you should) and Victoria and Jacob playing the Secret Garden Party...

it's all go... hope you like the mix as much as we do... thanks Sophie, Gemma and Louise!



Haiku Salut are a trio from the Derbyshire Dales who use accordions, ukeleles, glockenspiels, pianos, loopery and laptopery to create gorgeous instrumental music that part folk, part neo-classical and part electronica. Their debut album, “Tricolore”, was released in March, and received four star reviews in The Guardian, Uncut, Rock’N’Reel, Drowned In Sound, and many more. “Whether they're potentially scoring the next Wes Anderson film or the next imagined movie in your head, Haiku Salut effectively meld together electronic, contemporary classical, and accordion-heavy indie into a lovely post-rock sonic,” wrote Popmatters, while Uncut declared: "If Sigur Ros shared a cottage in Dovedale, they might just sound as magical as this.”

Debut album “Tricolore” can be bought on CD, vinyl or digitally at:
