The Leaf Library

British art-pop combo the Leaf Library cover a wide stylistic range that falls somewhere between mellow indie pop and droning post-rock. They emerged out of London at the end of the 2000s, releasing a succession of singles and archival material over an eight-year period that led up to their ambitious 2015 debut album, Daylight Versions. The band place an emphasis on expanding their catalog with related companion pieces and smaller experimental releases that have included a set of EPs that contained solo instrumental works by the Leaf Library's individual members. After their sophomore album, 2019's The World Is a Bell, the group's music became increasingly experimental, with releases like 2022's Melody Tomb embracing ambient, noise, glitch, and dub textures. While still sounding adventurous, the group endeavored to stick to more structured songwriting on 2026's After the Rain, Strange Seeds.
