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.\u003c/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eProduced 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.”\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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. “One of the coolest parts of the studio for me is when the songs actually come together and take on a life of their own, and I think we achieved that with this album more than we ever have in the past.”\u003c/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the dreamy, nineties vibe of “Snack Attack” to the deceptively simple feel of “Egocentrism,” and instantly catchy nature of “Slumber Party,” the songs on You’re Always On My Mind are incredibly diverse, yet they all sound undeniably like A Great Big Pile Of Leaves. “I feel like with this record we’ve finally figured out how to make each song sound different from the one before it but still keep the collection sounding cohesive,” Soucy explains, citing tours with veteran acts such as Motion City Soundtrack and the Appleseed Cast not just as adventures but also learning experiences.\u003c/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of Motion City Soundtrack, A Great Big Pile Of Leaves’ bond with MCS frontman Justin Pierre is so strong that he stopped by the studio to record some guest vocals for the sweetly syncopated anthem, “Pet Mouse.” Less of a carefully calculated appearance than a friend stopping by the studio, Pierre nailed his vocals in one take and was on his way. “We emailed him the part the day before and he was there for like twenty minutes; it was cool and we feel really fortunate that it was such a fun and enjoyable experience,” Soucy explains. In fact, Pierre even stuck around to add some group vocals to the track while he was at it. \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWeiland describes the lyrics on You’re Always On My Mind as “a mix of personal experiences with psychological theories,” which shouldn’t be too surprising considering that he has a Master’s Degree in psychology. However that’s not to say that the songs here are overly academic (there is a track called “Pizzanomics” after all). If anything Weiland’s lyrics give him the unfiltered ability to analyze and reflect upon his own experiences and turn that introspection outward in a way that fans of any age can instantly relate to, making it a truly cathartic experience for both parties.\u003c/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEqually liberating are A Great Big Pile Of Leaves’ legendary live shows which are more of a party than a traditional concert. “Our vocals lend themselves to a lot of sing-alongs so the crowd ends up being a huge part of the show and when they’re singing everything back to us it becomes such a fun environment,” Soucy says. “The live show is really important to us and we want to make sure that we can play everything on the record live,” Weiland is quick to add—and it’s not difficult to imagine angular experiments like “Ambiversion” taking on an entirely new life when performed in front of a mass of sweaty bodies.\u003c/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAdmittedly there are plenty of dark moments on You’re Always On My Mind, but instead of dwelling on that darkness, A Great Big Pile Of Leaves turn it into something more positive and universal. In much the same way the members are fans of works like Where The Wild Things Are, there’s an element of nostalgia to the band’s musical musings but there’s also something else intangible that you have to hear in order to truly comprehend. Your own childhood may be over, but when AGBPOL sing about “thinking about swimming pools” you’ll feel like you’re right there with them, wearing itchy swim trunks and feeling hopeful about the future. \u003c/p\u003e","country":"","full_name":"Tyler Soucy A Great Big Pile of Leaves","active":true,"featured":false,"featured_at":null},{"id":645,"first_name":"Chuck","last_name":"Treece","group":"Independent","social":"facebook.com/chuck.treece.3, instagram.com/chucktreece","quote":"","created_at":"2015-01-09T16:28:30.134Z","updated_at":"2019-12-19T19:35:21.322Z","bio":"","country":"","full_name":"Chuck Treece Independent","active":true,"featured":false,"featured_at":null},{"id":660,"first_name":"Jonathan","last_name":"Van Dine","group":"CRUISR","social":"","quote":"","created_at":"2015-01-09T16:28:31.091Z","updated_at":"2016-01-22T02:29:45.568Z","bio":"","country":"","full_name":"Jonathan Van Dine CRUISR","active":true,"featured":false,"featured_at":null},{"id":703,"first_name":"Brian","last_name":"Yagulli","group":"Ashton Shepherd","social":null,"quote":null,"created_at":"2015-01-09T16:28:33.802Z","updated_at":"2016-01-22T02:29:46.086Z","bio":null,"country":null,"full_name":"Brian Yagulli Ashton Shepherd","active":true,"featured":false,"featured_at":null},{"id":805,"first_name":"Charles","last_name":"Allicie","group":"Your Favourite Enemies","social":null,"quote":null,"created_at":"2015-01-09T16:28:39.080Z","updated_at":"2016-01-22T02:29:46.514Z","bio":null,"country":"ca","full_name":"Charles Allicie Your Favourite Enemies","active":true,"featured":false,"featured_at":null},{"id":819,"first_name":"Nicolas","last_name":"Gosselin","group":"Independent / Educator","social":null,"quote":null,"created_at":"2015-01-09T16:28:39.915Z","updated_at":"2016-01-22T02:29:46.573Z","bio":"Nicolas Gosselin was born in Québec city.

Clearly there was only one choice. Steeped in the musical challenges of quarter notes and eighth notes on the snare drum, Aaron graduated to drum kit by the age of thirteen. It was then that he realized the endless possibilities before him.\r\n​\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrowing up in Seattle served as an expansive musical conduit during the early nineties. While studying the ins’ and out’s of Jazz, Latin and fusion, Aaron was building real world experience with original projects that he had helped form from rock to funk, while staying involved with Big Band and small group playing on the school level. This eventually led to Aaron branching out and enrolling in William Patterson University just outside of Manhattan and furthering knowledge and skills with help from the likes of John Riley and Rufus Reid. His time at WPU was short feeling as though he needed to be getting more playing experience and decided to give the Cruise ship gig a shot.\r\n​\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAble to put most of every style that had come before him to use in this situation, the cruise gig proved to be a young drummers boot camp. While proficiency in stylistic play was a must, the ability to sight read while playing to click on a nightly basis was also a must. After a year on the high seas Aaron felt it best to get involved in a music program again. This time the destination would be Miami at Florida International University.\r\n​\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFor three more years Miami was home were an emphasis on Jazz and Latin jazz were key area’s of study. It wasn’t until his last year of living in Miami that Aaron began playing in rock projects again and felt that a bridge had been gapped after a long absence. This lead to the eventual departure from a city otherwise void of the rock scene, to a one Los Angeles witch is arguably the strongest rock scene in the world.\r\n​\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIt is here in LA where Aaron has spent the last 12 years, 10 of which have been with TRAPT. Playing in TRAPT has allowed Aaron to access all of the acquired skills along the way and put them in a musical format that is comfortably eclectic for a rock situation. \"Learning how to access all of the knowledge inside you and express it in creative ways\" is one of the many challenges that makes music and drumming in particular a life long quest. One that Aaron looks forward to going on.","country":"","full_name":"Aaron Montgomery
