The Leaf Library have spent two decades quietly building one of indie music's most singular worlds — and their fourth album, After the Rain, Strange Seeds, might be their finest yet. ifitbeyourwill sits down with Matt, the band's driving force, to trace a journey that began with a Stereolab ad in Reading and wound through DIY networks, John Peel plays, and six years of painstaking work on a record that finally feels like vindication. They talk craft, collaboration, and the particular delusion it takes to finish an album. Stay for the song.
