This should be all over the Web in a matter of minutes. Typically, I try to avoid the herd mentality on mass e-mails disguised as personal letters (“Hey … you! I have a song for … you!” Recently, I’ve gotten e-mails addressed to someone named Michael; it’s that extra, personal touch that really counts.). In this case, I like Earlimart, so just call me a lemming.
Pitchfork reviewed this track, the A-side of a 7″ for Suicide Squeeze (order it here). Answers and Questions follows the dreamy pop the band put forth on 2004’s Treble and Tremble. It’s a soothing track that builds up until the bottom falls out at about the 3:26 mark with a sudden, startling pause that gives way to the peaceful (or eerie?) sounds of birds chirping.
The song will be included on the group’s forthcoming LP.

hey bra~
note the new west coast dialect in my written speech. I think it is safe to remove me from the milk carton now. as I stared into the white light I saw south of mainstream and had to turn back. it was not my time!
that said I have posted my obit for mallie and her wonderful ear.
have you heard the horse feathers album yet. (insert knee jerk reaction here) its brilliant.
I just went to the Rhythm Room website to try to buy tickets for the Jose Gonzalez show and apparently its been cancelled! Any idea why?? I was really looking forward to that 🙁
By the way… if you get those Jeremy Enigk tracks from the United States of Leland, could you post “Set It On Fire”? I have the others, but have been unsuccessful in tracking that one down. Thanks in advance!
Ann,
Looks like the show was moved to Oct. 3 at the Clubhouse in Tempe. Check out http://www.statesidepresents.com
I like this. I’ve been meaning to check these guys out, pals as they are with Silversun Pickups. Which album should I start with? Treble and Tremble or Filthy Doorways?
Also, eMusic’s got the B-side to this 7″ “Answers & Questions” available.
