The Album Leaf + Sister Crayon + Movus

The Album Leaf is the arty project of Jimmy LaValle, who also plays in Tristeza; the atmospheric combo, whose latest release is A Chorus of Storytellers, can be tougher to warm up to in a club setting than on record—not so much the fault of the band as of its genre. Airy upstart combo Sister Crayon draws an enviable opening slot.
