Now that we're all done with Sasquatch, it's time to set our sights on the next raddest lineup to hit the west coast: it's Noise for the Needy, 2010 edition. There's close to seventy-five bands and djs playing a baker's dozen of venues next weekend, when NFTN takes over every corner of Seattle from June 9th (Thursday) through the 13th (Sunday). Among the notables in big font this year are John Vanderslice, Visqueen, Horse Feathers, Delta Spirit, the Maldives, The Album Leaf, Animals at Night, The Portland Cello Project, and The Redwood Plan -- along with enough supporting acts to make your head spin. Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets, or you can just buy a la carte at each show / venue -- although there's some sweet all-access wristband deals being offered if you want to rock it like that.

Fans of the Album Leaf will find on this record what they would expect: Keyboards and subtle melodies that weave themselves together right before your ears.

With so many contributors to what is ostensibly a solo project, it would be easy for the spirit of Jimmy LaValle to get lost in the hullabaloo, but paradoxically, the songs that best capture the essence of The Album Leaf (as judged by the standard of their live performances) are the ones that feature the most guest performers.
