About Me

Made of Leaves are a Nottingham-based 5 piece rock band with a fondness for creating washes of musical texture from minimalistic arrangements that are meant both for the heart and the head. In dank rehearsal rooms and sweaty venues, 5 musicians raised on rock, alt-country and drum and bass conspire to raise a warming racket with the support of friends and lights.»-(¯`v´¯)-» «-(¯`v´¯)-«
