Last night I was fortunate enough to watch a couple of unique and talented acts open up for The Album Leaf. The first being San Diego’s own . The music itself is as the name suggests, dark, smooth, and will not hesitate to strike with deadly precision. Lead vocalist Aimee Sanchez comes off like a corner pianist in a crowded saloon not noticing the noise around her, yet still being able to pierce through it all. While the songs themselves are very delicate, they come off immense in spirit.
Black Mamba – Holiday
The second act to impress me last night was Seattle’s Anomie Belle. The composer, producer, audio programmer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Toby Campbell has created perfect downtempo rainy Sunday music. Similar to Boards of Canada and Under Byen, Anomie Belle sounds marvelously supernatural and mysteriously beautiful.
Both acts are currently on tour with The Album Leaf. Do yourself a favor and have a listen or two.
