Moof Mag review extract:

Dark Leaves, Cornwall’s Patrick Aston, first came to attention with 2018's cinematic debut ʻGrey Stone in the Wood’, which was quickly followed by the intricately detailed gothic folk of the ʻForest Flowing’ EP. Both showcased and demonstrated Aston’s innate ability in creating a deeply atmospheric and beautifully melancholic strain of psychedelia, hushed and permeated with shadows and a strong sense of the surrounding environment and of place. Now, with new long player ʻLaid under leaf, under branches’, Dark Leaves consolidate all that was special about their initial work and add yet further layers of intrigue, shade and depth to the finely wrought tapestries that these songs are woven from.
