Saturday Sounds - Carbon Leaf - Time Is The Playground

This week's musical treat is courtesy of Andrew Liptak and his excellent Transfer Orbit newsletter in which he praised a band called Carbon Leaf who I had never heard of. That's now remedied after I listened to their excellent new album, Time Is The Playground. 

Carbon Leaf have been around for a while and play melodic indie rock. Liptak has this to say about them:

The last decade has felt a little aimless for the band: albums and EPs like Constellation Prize, Ghost Dragon Attacks Castle, Gathering, and How the West Was One are solid albums with memorable tracks, but they never quite captured me as with Indian Summer or Love Loss Hope Repeat. That's why Time Is The Playground really struck me as something special: it feels like all of the band's strengths have come together into one sleek, entrancing package that I've had on repeat for weeks. It's an album that covers a range of familiar themes: the passage of time, memory, and of the various stages of one's relationships.

I can't say anything more than that other than I like the album and will be checking out the rest of Carbon Leaf's catalogue.
