Comet Gain Reimagines City Fallen Leaves
The recent announcement of a reissue of City Fallen Leaves has encouraged David Christian to revisit these songs that are over 20 years old. In doing so, he’s quietly put up a Comet Gain reimagining of the album, and it’s quite a joy to hear how he hear’s the music now. In the tracklisting, you’ll see some of the reordering, but there’s also a gentler approach to my personal favorite LP. “Ballad of a Mix Tape” has become a bedroom acoustic ballad, whereas it was one of my go-to bristling pop tunes when I was making mixtapes in 2005. So, you have two options today…and I suggest both: listen to the reimagining, A Sound Found Underground-City Fallen Leaves Retold or go buy the original version…if only I could convince my wife I need to LP copies of this album! You can stream both because you probably haven’t listened enough to either!
