"Fresh Selects' next release: Low Leaf - AKASHAALAY (+ King Britt single)"


  

          

partial swipe: http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/03/listen-to-low-leaf-and-king-britts-new-track-a-light-within/

i know how the self-promo game goes around here these days,
but just wanted to keep those who might still care here in the loop

we just announced the next label project for Fresh Selects,
a new album by L.A. multi-talent, Low Leaf, called AKASHAALAY

if you're not familiar with Low Leaf, here's a quick tutorial:
- she's a singer/songwriter/producer + plays the harp and piano (sometimes at the same time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yay3x38eLE
- here's her latest music video, "June Gloom": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD9nqjIl3NI
- & an in-studio performance of "As One" - the first single from AKASHAALAY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWY8HMxr4gA

to go along with the album announcement, we also released a free non-album single she did with King Britt, called "A Light Within": https://soundcloud.com/freshselects/low-leaf-king-britt-a-light-within

i'll update this post as we start to release more singles & videos from the album
it'll be out on both cassette + digital download on April 29th via Fresh Selects

Jokes. She is great. I thought unEARTHly was one of my favorite freeleases last year. Super talented, but as much ability as she has, she doesn't overdo it.

I actually loved the more "sketch" style of her previous stuff, but this is a nicely realized SONG.

its exciting to see such a palpable growth happen so quick in an artist

the emphasis is definitely on songwriting and fleshing out complete thoughts on AKASHAALAY

>Congrats on the ventures. I wish you much success, Sir.

thank you, man... for real.

its funny, i was JUST listening to my Monk Hughes CD yesterday
& thinking "thank GOD Greg hated this shit so much he was done to mail me his copy" hahaha

i don't know if i would've ever copped on mine back then (being a broke teenager)
& it really opened me up to a lot of non-traditional jazz (stuff like Low Leaf actually...),
its still one of my favorites to this day.

from the press release...

100% funded by everyone who supported the album on cassette & digital - Low Leaf's AKASHAALAY is now able to be experienced on its rightful LP format.

To show our gratitude for all the overwhelming support so far, no expense was spared in getting the details of this pressing just right: The album has been remastered specifically for vinyl, with lock-out grooves added on both sides of the record, a spot UV gloss finish was designed for the cover, a full-color sleeve with handwritten lyrics & new artwork, color printing on the inside jacket sleeve + a download card inside, bonus hidden messages and more.

This is a limited edition first pressing of only 500 copies*. Get yours while you can.

*As of right now there's less than 190 copies left online: http://freshselects.bandcamp.com/album/akashaalay
