Leaflog are a young Irish instrumental band falling under the loose (and quickly becoming looser) heading of post rock. Believing words to be flawed, the band use thoughtful melody, screeching guitars, blissful chimes and clouds of effected space to express the variety of human emotion through music.The band hailing from Kerry, is currently four members strong, Padraig Daly - guitar, Sean Daly - guitar/synth, Dave Kissane - bass, Shane O'Neill - drums, but the complexity of human emotion called for more instruments to become involved, so clarinet, piano, xylophone, strings and trumpets were drafted in for the recording of the band's first EP Mayday. The EP was recorded in the summer of 2010 in the Cork School of Music and released that September. On the back of this Leaflog were commissioned to compose an original score for renowned New York based filmmaker Bill Morrisons experimental film Decasia, which they performed live at the Kerry Film Festival.
2011 has seen the band busy writing new material which they are planning to record over Christmas for a planned release date early next year. For the moment you can catch their brilliant live show when the band plays the hard Working Class Heroes festival in Dublin this October.
