Earlimart - Mentor Tormentor
Reviewed by jonathan
From their post-funk experimentations, Earlimart (so named for a small town near their home base of Fresno, California) has turned, quietly, and earnestly, into a solid lo-fi indie pop band, a la Death Cab for Cutie, with their latest album, Mentor Tormentor. With fifteen solid tracks, from soft Eliott Smith-esque "Happy Alone" to peppy Fountains of Wayne-ish "Fakey Fake," Earlimart's fifth album continues their striving for intimate reflective tunes and it's a success.
