Where Its At Is Where You Are

The Leaf Library is an indie band that originated in Reading after Matt Ashton's previous band, Saloon, disbanded in 2004. Alongside vocalist Kate Gibson, bassist Gareth Jones, and guitarist Ben Smith, they began writing and recording music. Drummer Lewis Young joined the group permanently, bringing with him a unique collection of synths and gadgets.
They released their first single "Losing Places" in 2008 through The Hooter Listens label, followed by another single on BEKO DSL in 2010. In 2011, they compiled various tracks and home recording experiments into an album titled "Different Activities, Similar Diversions."
In 2014, The Leaf Library gained recognition with their release "The Greater Good," which received significant airplay on BBC 6music. This was followed by collaborations with Smile Down Upon Us for WIAIWYA and Kingfisher Bluez in 2015. Their debut album proper "Daylight Versions" was released later that year along with drone and remix versions. Co-producer Simon Nelson became part of the band during this time to reproduce their complex recorded music live.

Based in London, UK, Where Its At Is Where You Are (WIAIWYA) is a renowned music label that has made a significant impact on the industry. With its wiaiwya-7777777 singles clubs, WIAIWYA released seven 7" singles every year for an impressive span of seven years from 2012 to 2018. The label's dedication to promoting talented artists and delivering exceptional music experiences is evident in their extensive catalog.

One notable milestone in WIAIWYA's journey is the release of A Where It's At Is Where You Are Quadranscentennial. This special project showcases the label's commitment to celebrating their achievements and marking important anniversaries.

With an informative and authoritative tone, WIAIWYA continues to captivate music enthusiasts with their diverse range of releases and unwavering passion for supporting emerging talent.

For fans of Insides, Stereolab, Low, Bark Psychosis, Yo La Tengo, Seefeel, Julia Holter. The record is an ambitious and expansive update of their warm, hypnotic drone-pop encompassing gently pulsing electronics, chiming guitars, minimalist piano, acoustic and synthesised drones, noise, improv and intricate brass and string arrangements, all in the serviceof the band’s most assured and experimental songwriting yet. Two years in the making it features guest contributions from (amongst others) celebrated singer Ed Dowie, noise group Far Rainbow, fellow space-pop travellers Firestations and the string quartet Iskra Strings. It draws on all aspects of the band’s work so far, from indie guitar pop to ambient atmospherics, via surging rhythms and layered, melancholic vocals.
