Last Leaves are an indie pop band from Melbourne, Australia made up of three quarters of the members of defunct and well-known Melbourne band The Lucksmiths. Their songs feature the familiar lyrical wit and themes of nature and 'every-day' Australian life of The Lucksmiths' music (albeit with less of a focus on inner city living and more of a rural slant), but their sound is notably heavier and less "jangly". Songwriter Marty Donald has described the new sound as being "more expansive and dynamic"
They are signed to the Melbourne-based label Lost & Lonesome, which is run by their bassist, Mark Monnone. They began performing in various Australian locations in March, 2012, including several gigs supporting international act The Wedding Present during their April, 2012, tour of Australia.
