BEHOLD a humble, transcendent, and mostly inadvertent take on cosmic art this venture in sonic landscaping is a cathartic retreat from the realm of popular conformist vibes, taking on its own as a contrast to the ephemeral figments of mainstream thoughts and process in unobtrusive fashion anomalous leaf is the alias of musical and visual artist irfan azam emitting from a household pseudo-studio amidst the sprawling suburbs of peidmont north carolina since 2004, the peal of his "experimental electro-acoustic ambient space rock” is fickle like emotion: abstract, visceral, and typically played out in spontaneity the playing strays off-kilter, the melodies may not catch, an off beat goes unchecked, "and the stars look down" |

"Sonic vistas dripping silver honey with an Air of innocence provide the listener affordable space-time shortcuts through the ages. Pleasing, simple yet sophisticated riffs and chords dance in improbable harmonies against an arcadian canvas. A celebration of and homage to ethereal prog-psych-garage traditions lift the initiate to safe, happy landings on soft, lucid clouds of desolation. Lucha libre between Plato and Democritus ultimately results in laughing camaraderie and a sweet trip to the Mad Hatter's tea party! Light, reason and dreams intertwine to challenge confusion, ignorance and darkness. Awake, receive and recede into Ellipsis. Please." |
