A Great Big Pile Of Leaves
Brooklyn indie rock unit A Great Big Pile of Leaves emerged in 2007 with style rooted in playful, soft-hearted lyrical sentiments and tightly wound precision pop musicianship. After issuing a pair of EPs, the band unveiled their first full-length effort, Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex?, in 2010, with the Billboard-charting You're Always on My Mind arriving three years later. An eight-year hiatus preceded the release of the group's third long-player, 2021's nostalgic Pono.
A Great Big Pile of Leaves was founded by guitarist/singer Pete Weiland and drummer Tyler Soucy, Connecticut natives who moved to New York after their band Farewell to Arms split up in 2007. Their sound was rooted in both breezy classic indie pop and '90s American underground acts like the Dismemberment Plan. The duo worked on and self-released two EPs, Fiery Works, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. After the release of these recordings, they expanded to include Tucker Yaro and Matt Fazzi. As the group gained momentum, they began touring, eventually doing shows with Saves the Day, Motion City Soundtrack, and Say Anything. In 2010, they completed their first full-length album, Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex?, which they supported by touring with the Appleseed Cast and Hellogoodbye. They continued with more live performances and the release of several EPs before their acclaimed second full-length, You're Always on My Mind, materialized in 2013. The LP appeared on multiple Billboard charts, but it would be eight years before A Great Big Pile of Leaves returned to the studio. Early 2021 saw the release of the single "Beat Up Shoes," with the wistful and long-awaited Pono arriving later that year.
