Here are some nice things that people have been saying about the new record:

“If this new song [‘Falling From the Sun’] is any indication, Chorus is an ideal soundtrack for the frosty month, radiating the melodic, metallic melancholy of Her Space Holiday and Band Of Horses.” – Magnet

“As a fifth album, A Chorus of Storytellers is exactly where The Album Leaf should be – familiar, yet fresh.  From strings to piano, synthesizer to straight vocals, LaValle put forth his best effort yet matching both the organic fairytale quality of In A Safe Place and internal complexity of Into the Blue Again.  Without the presence of too much vocals, you just get to listen to the music, which is what ambient music should be about.” – Pop Wreckoning

“A Chorus of Storytellers is the perfect showcase for LaValle’s skill as a recording artist.  The album’s 11 tracks are crisp, clean, flowing and beautifully complex.” – Altsounds.com

‘“Falling From the Sun”…is a coherent and deftly mixed beauty, with chills-inducing harmonies.” – Knox Road
