High Leaf to Record Debut Album This Week
High Leaf will hit Retro City Studios this week to record their debut album. If you’ve been seeing their name on Philadelphia show flyers for the last few months, well, me too. They don’t have any official audio yet, but have been kicking around the City of Brotherly Love and playing alongside familiar outfits like The Age of Truth and Cobra Whip, among others.
The four-piece — who apparently prefer their name in all-caps, which feels like a bigger ask somehow as two words: HIGH LEAF — head into the recording process very much as a ‘new band,’ but the underlying reality is, as usual, more complex. Guitarist Patrick Fiore and vocalist/guitarist Corey Presner have been in bands together for at least over a decade, working in Plantation — a moniker rightly discarded — and Distorted Sun, who released their debut full-length, Under a Burning Sky, in 2017. Joined by bassist Matt Rib and drummer Marc Lampasona, the pair will oversee the release of High Leaf‘s first offering in 2023 through an as-yet-undetermined/unannounced label.
They sent the following word down the PR wire and you can get a feel for some of their sway in the full-set clip below filmed at the Khyber Pass in Philly this May. Have to think at least some of what’s there will be on the album being recorded, if not all of it.
Here you go:
