Judging only by her pho­tos, Low Leaf may seem super­fi­cial with all those awk­ward poses she likes to strike. It’s rather child­ish, actu­ally. But I guess it’s a thing that should not be taken too seri­ously. After all, it’s her music what matters.

And it’s quite enchant­ing. The very spe­cial music of Low Leaf is rooted in jazz, and watered with the sound effects of elec­tron­ica. The end result is a con­trolled chaos where almost every lit­tle bit of sound is treated in a unique and cre­ative way. 

Glitched harps and pitched vocals fill the imag­i­nary spaces of warped reverbs and delays. The chord pro­gres­sions are also often unusual, not to men­tion the bold dis­so­nances she allows.

These, too, are poses, of course. But, in con­trast with the frozen pic­tures, these move in space and time, fol­low­ing one another, and ulti­mately evolv­ing into a daz­zling dance of sound and rhythm. It’s like Björk meet­ing Joanna Newsom (and they are happy to meet.)

Low Leaf has just released a 7-track album on Bandcamp, named ‘Alchemizing Dawn’. Don’t let her spelling dis­tract you, ’cause there’s good music behind the goofy titles.
