The Album Leaf is a pseudonym for Jimmy LaValle, formerly of The Black Heart Procession, Tristeza, The Locust, and GoGoGo Airheart.
The Album Leaf is the solo-project of Jimmy LaValle. His former work includes the ambient post-rock Tristeza, noise punk band The Locust, and epic-core group Black Heart Procession.
