Carbon Leaf’s fifteenth studio album, Time is the Playgroundis both a call to action and anembrace of the moment. Marrying nostalgic storytelling to nuanced, folk-infused indie rock, theRichmond, Virginia band embroiders heartfelt melody and harmony with acoustic and electricinstrumentation to create a 12-song rumination on time, love and personal growth that’s equalparts urgent epiphany and contented exhalation.
“Everybody says people don’t listen to albums anymore,” mulled Carbon Leaf frontman BarryPrivett, holed up in a coastal cottage. “So, the challenge for us was to make something that feltgood to get through from beginning to end … to listen to like a story.”
Originally formed as a college cover band in 1992 and with over 3,500 famously enthused liveshows together, Carbon Leaf helped to define the aughts indie rock that they ultimately outgrewand outlasted. They first earned national recognition with “The Boxer,” a song that won theAmerican Music Awards 2002 New Music Award and made Carbon Leaf the first unsigned bandto perform before millions on the AMAs.
