SONG OF THE DAY [#332]

'before it gets better' | earlimart

wow. i cracked earlimart's new one, 'hymn and her,' [release date 7/1] last night i was completely blown away! i've always kind of moderately interested in them as a band. their song, 'hold on, slow down,' kicked off my 2005 compilation. it's as perfect an opening song as there is. i loved it. but for some reason i was just never fully enlisted in the earlimart army.

that, however, changed when i heard that glory that is 'hymn and her.' you're not likely to hear more effortless and gorgeous melodies the rest of this year. and that song is just the tip of ye olde iceberg. 'hymn and her' is packed with some seriously artillery. i don't know what's up the military references today. oh well. seriously, kids, check this one out. it's on my short list for favorite albums of the year.
