《A Chorus of Storytellers》,录音于2009年寒冷的2月,西雅图(Seattle)郊外的Bear Creek Studio,录音师Ryan Hadlock。《A Chorus of Storytellers》,混音于2009年温暖的6月,冰岛 雷克雅未克(Reykjavik, Iceland),混音师Birgir Jon Birgisson (of Sigur Ros)。于是,这张专辑具有很奇特的双重气质——冰冷与温暖的,忧伤与惬意的,后现代主义的沉思与返璞归真的轻松,对它的理解很大程度取决于个你当时的心境。
A Chorus of Storytellers was recorded by Ryan Hadlock in the frosty month of February 2009 at Bear Creek Studio just outside of Seattle. It was mixed in the decidedly warmer month of June in Reykjavik, Iceland by Birgir Jon Birgisson (of Sigur Ros). For the first time in five albums, The Album Leaf recorded as a whole band. In the past, almost every instrument was performed by principal songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle. This time the whole band was invited to participate and the result is their best record yet.
