Description
Ohio no-wave/synth EP with floaty sax and jaded female vox. Like Lydia Lunch "singing" over 80s public access muzak. This is an original copy I've had for a few years, in VG++ condition. Check clips on Youtube or the Emotional Rescue bandcamp page.
$4 first class domestic shipping, but I'll ship media if you prefer. International bidders should wait for an invoice before paying. I'll work to get you the lowest possible rate.
Please contact me with any questions.
Here's a bio courtesy of Emotional Rescue:
"Sometimes a record comes along that is a wonderful anomaly that really is all about the music. Silver Leaf recently appeared on the radar via obscuro diggers on both sides of the Atlantic and landed with a Hey!
What is known about Silver Leaf, beyond that it was a short-lived mid-80s project out of Cincinnati, Ohio, is that it features ex-Zephyr keyboardist John Faris, working alongside the mysterious vocalist Silvia Leaf.
The difference between the blues and occasional psychedelic rock of early 70s Boulder, Colorado’s Zephyr and the lo-fi recordings of Silver Leaf are striking, but in Hey! and Can We Rebuild Our City?, the power of the ballad and strong playing of John, is wrapped in mid-80s, mid-States lo fi heaven.
Whether a non-de-plume, Ms Leaf’s searing, innocent vocals fly above John’s keys and programming. Hey!’s repetitive exhalations act like a mantra to a party, while tom’s chime in accompaniment. Here it comes!
Can We Rebuild Our City? starts with Faris’ forlorn intro before crashing percussion heads to some kind of wonderful, as Leaf questions a calls to hearts.
Releasing just 3 singles, Silver Leaf’s music is unique and essential, an experience and a delight to present"
