The Leaf Library

Would love one of these for Envoys (no pressure, I know you're not a jukebox).

Bought this directly from the hand of Juniper herself. Great book.

They were from Oxford, not Reading.

Lovely to see the Xylitol album heading out into the world. It features a track of ours from The Long Dead King EP that Catherine remixed for us - wonderful to have it included in amongst her other stuff. We're big fans!

The Leaf Library + Minor Dents London drone pop group The Leaf Library bring their full band show to Brighton to promote their brand new album, ‘After The Rain, Strange Seeds’. Mixing motorik Stereolab repetition, Yo La Tengo fuzz…

Brighton gig confirmed! Playing The Rose Hill on 02/04 with support from the excellent Broadcast-do-space rock trio Minor Dents. Tickets here:

One of my favourite Scotts. What a sad song.

Our noise on Noisebox.

Thanks Jodie!

hard disagree, bigot boy #totp

Thank you, too kind! Would love to do more gigs - managed two on album launch - but it's proving hard to get everyone together. Hopefully that will change in the future.

Incredibly pretty folk pop from Leaf Library stalwarts, it may just be about the passage the time and how sometimes that's OK but such is the sense of space and harmony it feels profound

Thanks Johnny McB, glad you're enjoying it! Another MD album... one day?

Need more bright and jangly guitar music in your life? You can do worse than shop at the Fika store.

The one true Prince of Wales, by Simon Love 16 track album

16 songs (well 11 songs, 2 song fragments, an intro and outro and the Welsh national anthem) about love, grief, jealousy, stalking, lust, how rubbish it is to have your birthday on New Year’s Eve and how you can’t trust anything that children say.

New one from Señor Amor! (Matt’s on this, and did the sleeve but don’t let that put you off).

Sending crowdfunding money to a venue you're hoping to play soon seems to be a uniquely 2026 phenomenon, but here we are.

Where Else? in Margate looks like a great spot so any help gratefully received.

We make "music for a rainy Tuesday afternoon of the soul", as Pete Paphides memorably put it.

Grey with fine rain here, so it's working perfectly.

CD copy of Further by Flying Saucer Attack

Reappraisal currently underway.

Oh yeah, that looks great - Just Knobs. I'm still enjoying the Volca Sample and its ultimate basic-ness (though until we get consistent and fantastic on stage monitoring, none of this is being used live).

Fortunately for all of us, Mirror was reissued over here with a new (and much more tasteful) cover. I find Further the least essential. If I ever find a serviceable LP copy you can have my CD.

We bought a drum machine off Dan several years back, so it's nice to vaguely rejoin his orbit here, via Catherine's new one.

Ah, I love FSA so much. Chorus is fantastic. Makes sense the 'catalogue as one album' thing, I really like that. Probably daft to pick a favourite, then, but if I had to today it would be Mirror (such a strange album). I've also been listening a lot to In Search Of Spaces (good for brain flossing).
