The Funk: Lexus and The Album Leaf
I was watching something the other day.
True story.
But during the commercials, this song came on during a spot for Lexus. I really loved it and was immediately thrust into “must Google obsessively until I find out who did this track” mode. Here’s the commercial.
Sadly, my Googling yielded the answer that the music was made specifically for the commercial and there is no song to download, much less a whole album to get.
However, this song gets me excited to listen to The Album Leaf — the one-man-band of Jimmy LaVelle that is mostly instrumental, atmospheric and melodic. The Album Leaf has a nice mixture of electronic and organic textures, as well as a variety of instruments and sounds. I tend to like the instrumental tracks better than the ones with vocals — but what can ya do?
Here’s the video for The Album Leaf’s “Wherever I Go.” If you like that, try my favorite song off the same album — “Into the Sea.”
