Anyone else in town going to
see Shearwater's special performance tonight at the Parish? They'll be
performing their new album, Rooks, in its entirety with a string
quartet, woodwinds, trumpets and a harpist. Also, there will be
projections by the guy who did the snazzy cover art for the album and a
whole other set featuring the band's older songs. It's going to be
amazing. Speaking of things that are good, today I have something new
from Earlimart. The act just released an album last year that was
pretty solid, so I'm a little surprised that they're already back with
another full length. At any rate, it's called Hymn And Her and
it will be out on July 1. My guess is that it should be another
quality set of tunes. Enjoy.

- Song For:
One of my fears with veteran acts is that they'll suddenly
release an effort that either sounds nothing like them or
showcases that they've run out of good ideas.
Fortunately, as it would appear with this gem, such a thing
doesn't seem as if it's going to be a problem for Earlimart
anytime soon. If anything I'd say that it looks as if
they'll always be totally content with their penchant for
quick bursts of lush pop. Sounds good to me! And
you. Probably.
Earlimart has
been at it for a long time, which means that Youtube had
quite a lot videos to choose from. So, I went with an
older track from 2003's Everyone Down Here called
We Drink On The Job. It's a good one.
