AKASHAALAY signifies a new level in the sophistication for Low Leaf’s sound, particularly in light of the newfound balance between organic instrumentation and the electronic augmentation her beat making. It settles into a comfortable groove somewhere between the avant-garde wooziness of unEARTHly and the ever so slightly mawkish song craft of Alchemizing Dawn. This shouldn’t detract from either of the former, which are great records in their own right, but with AKASHAALAY she’s managed to generate something of a broader pop-wise appeal without watering down any of the heartfelt spirituality or the DIY improvisation that made her songs so appealing in the first place. It’s earnest yet mischievous music, revelling in well-worn archetypes of song writing while simultaneously tearing the rulebook to shreds.
