Background notes
Archive material and source history
Leaves formed in Seattle in the early 2000s with Ryan Miller on bass, Matt Ridenour on guitar, and Kelly McLaughlin handling vocals. They put out their debut album "Alone in the Sun" in 2004, which included the song of the same name. That track, along with others like "We" and "Breathe," became central to their sound.
Their music often dealt with themes of isolation and melancholy, which some critics found overly pessimistic while others appreciated the directness. They followed up with albums like "The Garden of Ghosts" in 2006 and "Silent Hours" in 2010, continuing in a similar vein without much fanfare about breaking into the mainstream.
The band's work remained focused on the kind of introspective songwriting they started with, without much indication they were chasing trends or commercial success.
