David Martin (Marketing - The Leaf Label)
As a member of the band I LIKE TRAINS, David has released records on labels including Beggars Banquet and Fierce Panda, and toured extensively in the UK and Europe. He joined The Leaf Label team in 2014 and has worked on album campaigns with the likes of Snapped Ankles, Warmduscher, Polar Bear and The Comet Is Coming.
Founded by Tony Morley in 1995, The Leaf Label’s impressive international catalogue is simultaneously pioneering and timeless, with enough warmth, melody, playfulness and passion to distinguish Leaf from its contemporaries.
From the first release (a Boymerang 12”), The Leaf Label has worked with artists from around the world, including Caribou (Canada), Efterklang (Denmark), Colleen (France), Murcof (Mexico), AU, volcano! and A Hawk And A Hacksaw (USA), Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Roll The Dice (Sweden) and Polar Bear, Faultline and Psapp (UK) and Susumu Yokota and Asa-Chang & Junray (both from Japan).
Among the current roster there is little to suggest a common musical thread, and yet the artists are bound together with an understanding of aesthetics and a strong mark of individuality and timelessness. Leaf continues to evade classification and build on its enviable reputation.
