press release - Lost For Words



A full-length label compilation for the price of a CD single? You may well find yourself Lost For Words at the prospect of such bounty.

Lost For Words is the successor to the enormously popular Osmosis budget-priced sampler from 1999 which ushered in The Leaf Label’s second wave of artists, including Susumu Yokota, Eardrum, Gorodisch and 310. Lost For Words consolidates the reputation of a label that has grown exponentially since then, with the deserved success of Yokota and Manitoba, and worldwide critical acclaim for the likes of Murcof and Asa-Chang & Junray.

Lost For Words gives you a bargain-priced opportunity to hear tracks from all the recent Leaf album releases – Murcof, Asa-Chang & Junray, Boom Bip & Doseone and A Small Good Thing – as well as other highlights from recent Leaf catalogue, and tracks from forthcoming offerings by Manitoba, Susumu Yokota, Gorodisch and 310.

Asa-Chang & Junray’s ‘Hana’ is already an undisputed classic. Sofa Surfers stunning rework of Eardrum is given a timely re-release (its first time on CD), now that Leaf will be releasing the Surfers new album in the UK. ‘Fairy Link’ and ‘Future Tiger’ are taken from The Boy And The Tree, Susumu Yokota’s highly anticipated follow up to 2001’s Grinning Cat album. Murcof and Boom Bip & Doseone, two of Leaf’s latest finds, each contribute two tracks.

And what about an exclusive nugget or two? Step forward those international men of mystery, The Sons Of Silence, whose first release in three years is a track they recorded for the soundtrack of cult UK TV show Spaced. Plus a live Eardrum track, recorded at the Leaf party at London’s Cargo last Christmas, and brand new, previously unreleased cuts by Manitoba, 310 and Gorodisch.

The album features another classic design by Non-Format, giving the option of four different front covers for those with short attention spans. The artwork also includes further information about each of the tracks included on the CD.
