A Great Big Pile Of Leaves – Spanish for Smile
Biography
You’re Always On My Mind - Available July 2nd, 2013 on Topshelf Records
Nostalgia is a funny thing in the sense that it can make us grow fonder of positive memories and conveniently edit out the not-so-good ones. The former type of triumphant moments of discovery and childhood wonderment lie at the core of A Great Big Pile Of Leaves’ long-awaited sophomore full-length You’re Always On My Mind, an album that channels nineties indie rock icons like the Dismemberment Plan while still sounding fresh, relevant and most important of all, fun.
Produced by Ed Ackerson (Motion City Soundtrack, Replacements) at Flowers Studios in Minneapolis, You’re Always On My Mind sees the band—guitarist/singer Pete Weiland, drummer Tyler Soucy, guitarist Matthew Fazzi and bassist Tucker Yaro—straying from their DIY roots to enter a proper studio and the results are absolutely stellar. “Working with Ed was a refreshing change of pace for us because, for the first time, we were able to sit back and focus on the instrumentation and performances,” Weiland explains. “Ed brought a really great perspective to the table and working with him was awesome because we were all on the same page.”
This is evidenced in the expanded arrangements and versatility of You’re Always On My Mind, which sees the band stretching out sonically and shows how much they’ve grown since 2010’s Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex? “Every other album we’ve done, we’ve only used our own equipment, so it was really nice to be able to pick from Ed’s arsenal and he really opened up our eyes on getting different sounds,” Soucy explains.

Never expected to be top listener. Truly a shock as I thought more people listened to this band. Vampires In Love has to be one of the best songs I've ever heard even if the lyrics are about food.

Truly one of the most underrated bands of present day, in my opinion. Fucking phenomenal music. Play on, guys. You are fantastic. I saw you open for the Say Anything/Motion City Soundtrack show in Charlotte in November 2010, and you were the best set/my favorite band of the night by a mile.
