I’m listening to the new Earlimart “Mentor Tormentor”<\/strong> while I am trying to catch up on book reviews tonight, and this album is completely entrancing me. It’s so lilting and melodic and calm yet building. The vocals are lovely. Wow. What a pretty album!<\/p>\n

I’ve mentioned their previous album (“Treble & Tremble”) to lots of people and just gotten a blank stare. I listened to that one quite a bit, but I don’t remember there being as many male\/female trade-offs in the vocals. There’s a folksy, country twinge to this band, but they’re less rhythmic than most country, and the harmonies feel thicker\/stronger (and more pop) than most folk.<\/p>\n

Now I wish I would have bought tickets to see them (tomorrow at Schuba’s) but I know I really don’t have the energy anyway (and I knew looking at my calendar, I wouldn’t, which is why I didn’t buy them when they went on sale a few months ago). Eh bien…next time.<\/p>\n

For now, I will turn off the lights and listen to this loveliness and dream myself into another world…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
