Autumnleaf

 Autumnleaf were formed in 2006 in Fukuoka, Japan, and were active until at least 2012, which is the year that saw their last released material. Their sound was a combination of midwest emo and indie rock, with an increasing amount of influence from slowcore as their discography progressed. Their most well-known album, 2011's the foot, is a softer version of American Football's LP1, a quiet, contemplative album that could be considered emo's version of easy listening. Their more obscure early discography hits it harder, especially their first release, though don't get the idea that they were ever aggressive; they just weren't quite so laid back at first. Their first full-length is my favorite release of theirs, as it's placed in the middle not only chronologically but also sonically, being beautiful yet without slowing down as much as the second full-length.

The band's first release was a minialbum in 2007, Red lies in the White field. It was self-released, but all subsequent releases were on the band's own label, wood/water. In 2009 they put out their first LP, still have nothing to be sure, early copies of which came with a CDr that had four remixed album tracks. 2011 saw two releases: their second LP, the foot, and another EP of remixes. Autumnleaf's last release is an odd one: a 2012 five-track EP of what I think were instrumental tracks only, included as part of an artbook and performed as a live art installation called "with THE MOUNTAIN." It seems like the book didn't see much in the way of distribution, and I could not find a copy for sale. Additionally, the only trace I could find of the first remix EP are two tracks from the wood/water Soundcloud, where there is also a single track from the art book.

Still, I have assembled a high enough percentage of their work to call it a discography, if technically a partial one.
