'Leaf', the second LP by Rat Columns is out now, released by RIP Society on 12” wax and available in various stores in Australia, the USA and elsewhere. Digital will be available very soon. Americans can pick up the record from the Easter Bilby record distro. Send them an email if they are behind on visual electronic updates.
'Leaf' sees the Rat Columns ensemble both zoom in on the pop mainline and zoom out into some unforeseen strangeness. Jangle and chime crosses beams with grey feedback, glammy rock'n'roll, luxurious ambience and hypnosis beat panorama.
'Leaf' was recorded in the fabulous musical artist Kelley Stoltz's home studio and features contributions from RC mainstays David West, Jonathan Young and Matt Bleyle, return appearances from fab drummer James Vinciguerra, and sparkling cameos from crisp young things Mikey Young and Rusty Miller.
A track from Leaf, ‘Fooling Around’, a collaboration between David West and his Lace Curtain buddy Mikey Young. This song appears on ‘Leaf’ in a slightly truncated version, this is the full jam out for interested parties to scope. Featuring Jonathan Young on bass, Matt Bleyle on drums, Mikey Young on synth, DTW on vox/guitar, SF charmer Rusty Miller on backing vocals
