Sing Leaf announces new album and single

If Sing Leaf’s new album feels like it’s caught between worlds it’s because it’s intended to be just that. As its title suggests, this is music for another place, existing as its own cosmos, a colourful work of strange sounds and visions, pulled from the mind and movements of its signature 

creator, David Como. Released this year via Como’s Tin Angel Records home, the new Sing Leaf album offers a spellbinding journey through eight inspired and beautifully idiosyncratic tracks. 

A persistent and prolific songwriter, Not Earth was written in Como’s home, in the living during the quiet of the day, in the bedroom while his wife watched TV; brave new worlds created from the quiet and comfort of his own domestic life. As always, Como plays every instrument on the record, recording, mixing, editing all the work himself before sending the songs to frequent musical confidant Sandro Perri, who also mastered the record. 

Initially built around the idea of a “disney, sci-fi, alien landscape vision”, ‘Not Earth’ also finds a balance in its more meditative moments; for every jagged moment of inspired eccentricity, a stretch of measured stillness. “Music for me has never been about crafting the best sounding song, or even the most appealing song,” Como says. “It’s more about honouring the spark. If I can block out the other noise and not think about where a song will end up, or who will hear it, then I can follow that and it's like the song is just coming through me.”

Today with the announce of that album ‘Sing Leaf’ shares ‘Sunshine’ the second track in the story
