Leaves Turn Inside You is the seventh and final studio album by the American post-hardcore band Unwound, released on April 17, 2001 by Kill Rock Stars.

[3] Trosper said that he was mainly interested in "turning down the distortion and adding more textures and tones", and in using the recording studio as an instrument; he personally studied albums that were of interest to him at the time, including David Bowie's Low, Public Image Ltd's Metal Box, the Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin, Radiohead's then-recently released Kid A, Burzum's ambient music albums released while in prison, the Cure's The Head on the Door, the sessions for the Beach Boys' Smile, and "60s British stuff like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Kinks.

For instance, the song "Below the Salt" features delicate piano, heavy usage of reverb, and intimate, near-whispered vocals, while "Scarlette" brings back the band's hardcore punk origins.

[5] Max Finneran, writing for Spin, commented: "Rounding off the edges of its tried and true punk-rock grind with the melodic and rhythmic tropes of '60s psychedelia, Unwound has perfectly re-imagined a sound that most art-students wouldn't even spit on the first time around".

According to Ridge, "the hardcore scene has spat out such individual classics at infrequent intervals, and Leaves sits comfortably alongside Hüsker Dü's Zen Arcade, The Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime and Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation.

[24] In a 2014 Quietus article, Angus Andrew of experimental rock group Liars revealed Leaves to be one of his favorite records, calling it an "overwhelmingly complete and brave" entry in Unwound's "near flawless" discography.

Noting their move towards an "exciting, challenging and experimental" sound, he dubbed the album a "giant stylistic leap of faith" that his band "took a large dose of influence" from.
