Pit er Pat y The Album Leaf

Buena Escucha
"LaValle shows his calm, quiet side with these mostly instrumental songs built from soothing, shimmering layers of synthesizer, guitar, strings, and percussion that fall over each other like waterfalls tumbling into murky, rippling pools. This is music to fuel beautiful melancholy, the kind of songs you turn to when you want to wallow in your feelings. " -- Epitonic.com
"Composer/multi-instrumentalist James LaValle has certainly generated his fair sum of impeccable music-- both in collaboration with sympathetic acts like Sigur Rós or the Black Heart Procession and as author of his ongoing project the Album Leaf. Past works like 2004's In a Safe Place or last year's Seal Beach EP have shown LaValle able to patiently craft sonorous ambient crescendos." -- Pitchfork Media
"With The Album Leaf, LaValle utilizes the elements of classical, ambient, glitch, jazz, and post-rock to form music that masterfully negotiates an even space between minimal electronic composition and mournful post-rock. Like many similar musicians in the genre, The Album Leaf uses white noise, field recordings, and radio transmissions to add to his work." -- Wikipedia bio
"Using the typical tools of LaValle's kinder, gentler trade--tasteful percussion, gossamer guitar, and minimal electronics--he creates new forms and structures in his entirely instrumental songs, and makes listening a synesthetic experience." -- Amazon.com
"There is no one word to describe pit er pat's sound. they are a three piece band that plays like a full ensemble on avant - garde drugs. fay davis - jeffers' vocals float along beautifully with complex melodies created by her keyboard playing, rob doran's bass lines, and butchy fuego's rolling drums. many people may compare them to blonde redhead, the unicorns and the like, but what makes pit er pat so different is that they are able to create actual melodies through the cacophonous soundscapes they produce ...being a ble to take the listener through a controlled chaotic rhytmic assault that can frightened and lull simultaneously" -- Yrb Magazine
"...Their sound is unusual, with Davis-Jeffers' electric piano lines loping merrily above busy and constantly changing beats from Fuego and bassist Rob Doran. Some of the rhythm work is reminiscent of the Sea & Cake's jazzier moments, but the songs belong to a different tradition..."-- Pitchfork Media
"Pit er Pat's music achieves a strange kind of alchemy...a skittering tableu that flits between post-rock, free jazz and indie rock influences without pledging allegiance to one." -- Xlr8r magazine
AUSTIN TV:Esta alineación de jóvenes enmascarados representa fielmente las nuevas vertientes que ha tomado el rock en México en los últimos años. Con su emotivo paisajismo instrumental, Austin es uno de los grupos al margen de los grandes sellos discográficos que más convocatoria ha logrado, gracias a una base de fieles seguidores. Austin ha colocado en alto el nombre de los independientes al presentarse en eventos masivos como el festival Vive Latino.
Les Tragiques [banda invitada]: Mientras el grueso de la escena nacional se obsesionó con Ian Curtis y sus hijastros putativos de Interpol, el quinteto anterior y actualmente conocido como Les Tragiques sabía que Los Soberanos eran los buenos. Y Angélica María. Lo mejor es que no les da pena decirlo. Ye-yé francófono garagero. Nada más y nada menos que sonidos gourmet para bon vivants y la aristocracia MOD que recuerda con nostalgía como se divertían los chicos pop en los sesentas.
