Carbon Leaf has been a cornerstone of the indie rock scene since their early days as a college cover band in 1992. With over 3,500 electrifying live shows and a career that includes the iconic hit “The Boxer,” which made them the first unsigned band to perform at the American Music Awards, their journey is a testament to their enduring spirit and musical prowess.

"Time is the Playground" is both a call to action and an embrace of the moment. Marrying nostalgic storytelling to nuanced, folk-infused indie rock, the Richmond, Virginia band embroiders heartfelt melody and harmony with acoustic and electric instrumentation to create a 12-song rumination on time, love and personal growth that’s equal parts urgent epiphany and contented exhalation.
