about

Leyva – Black & Gold
Prolific to a fault, the latest disc from Leyva is easily his best yet. While he’s recorded interesting tracks before, most of his albums to date have been constructed from scattered sessions, gathered as they happened to be recorded. With Black & Gold, the album was constructed as a whole, complete with a sympathetic group of backing musicians, including the late saxophonist Dave Isabelle in the last recording before his passing. Leyva plays guitar and assorted bits and bobs, alongside bassist Guz Gallo, keyboardist Sal Filipelli, drummers Matt Van Allen and Ryan Schilawski as well as multi instrumentalist Taylor Brown. The cast creates a sound that’s part Eddie Vedder angst and part Chris Martin gloss. There’s something here for just about everybody; rock ‘n’ roll, with a touch of glam (“You Belong To Me”), electronic dabbed pop (“ Strange Dayz“), plaintive strummed ballad (“Forever Wild“), all with Leyva confident in his vocal approach. If you’ve never heard Leyva before, this is where to start – even long time fans will be pleased at the sonic leaps and bounds he’s come up with this time.
