The Hottness: Earlimart
Earlimart is a band that I’ve heard about and listened to a little but never really knew and every chance I had to see them just hadn’t worked out yet. But since getting Mentor Tormentor, their new album, it is all I have been listening to. I have a feeling this is going to sit high atop my best of 2007 albums. The sound is very heavily Elliot Smith influenced (who was a friend and mentor to the band) but i also hear alot of the Yo La Tengo and Autolux vibe. Check it out for your self:

Earlimart will be at The Earl on October 14th. I’ll be going to Birmingham, AL the next night to catch them there because of Echo Project.
