...now is the winter of our discontent, is the creation of a thoughtful poet with a gift for words. "Your love has ruined me/And I know you'd say the same/Still I can't wait to feel you again," Leaf sings on Our Love, and that lyric alone should be enough to send you thumbing through the liner notes for more gems. Musically, What We've Been Waiting For is the best cut. Leaf adds a little fuzz to the guitar, throws in a synth and plays with dynamics to create a groovy foot-tapper that calls for repeat listens. Other songs put violin, viola, mandolin and didgeridoo to good use. MW
