Private Eleanor blog

We've been popping up on some best-of-2007 lists!

Al at City Paper's 'Noise' blog puts Sweethearting at #15 on his top local albums list, and our April Walters Art Museum show at #9 on his best live shows of the year list.

And local blog Feed My Face calls Sweethearting the #8 local record of the year.

If you've seen others, please let us know.

And if you'd like to check out the record, we'll remind you that it's still available for the special price of only $5, at our special CD sale page.

Some very nice new reviews this week for our record Sweethearting... Both printed on actual paper. (Yeah, bloggers, some folks still read about music on pages instead of screens.)

The Big Takeover says, "Baltimore's best surprisingly top their quietly sparkling No Straight Lines. Sweethearting ups the ante... behind production so lush, firm, and warm, it takes over rooms." (Buy a copy at bigtakeover.com - one of our longtime favorite magazines!)

On Tap gives us a 3.5 (out of 4), and says that we "evoke the confident, mature sound of artists such as Red House Painters and the late Elliott Smith" and that the record "is an assured display of subtlety and craftsmanship." (DC people, pick one up for free anytime in June; or check the site here.)

A couple more very nice reviews this week of our new record Sweethearting. Palebear compares us to one of our faves, American Analog Set, and says our songs are "even prettier" (wow, we're blushing)... and Smother deems us "Baltimore's finest." (I think we ourselves might beg to differ with that one -- see our post below re: Monarch and Small Sur -- but still, we're honored!)

Also, there was this post on a Greek blog. Anyone read Greek?

As you may know, our new record Sweethearting came out yesterday. Today's Baltimore City Paper has a great review of the album.

Also, CP's music blog, 'Noise', has a nice post about our recent Walters Art Museum show. Thanks to Jess and Al at CP!

We've started to pop up in some music blogs as well. 

The album is available now! (We recommend getting it from our friends at The Beechfields!)
