Elizabeth & The Catapult Grow Up with Major Label Debut, Remain “Taller Children”
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
There are certain artists/bands/albums that I know are not hip, but I just don’t give a shit –I still like them. Maybe some part of me is hoping they’ll become ironically hip and then I can say “Dude, whatever –I liked them when,” but, really, I’m not that smart. For example, ELO. Face the Music, “Mr. Blue Sky”, hell, even Xanadu –I can’t help but like it.
My name is Ghostface Millah and I like Electric Light Orchestra.
When I first read about Elizabeth & The Catapult‘s sound described as “merging classic pop melodicism with an array of acoustic textures, jazz twists and orchestral flourishes,” I thought “damn, that sounds awesome in a Starbucks Music sort of way.” Turns out I was right. Mostly.
Listen to “Taller Children” after the cut. (more…)
