:: Release Notes:
::
:: YOU HAVE THE right to expect a well-crafted, meticulously
:: designed product from a band consisting of two
:: academically-trained composers.
::
:: The complete absence of an official release despite four years of
:: writing, recording, and performing original material justifiably
:: raises expectations even higher.
::
:: Fall, 2006: She, Sir present "Who Can't Say Yes", an EP
:: delivering on the original promise of their demo recordings,
:: which have garnered an ever-growing audience of music listeners,
:: performers, and critics alike.
::
:: Under the moniker of She, Sir, M. Grusha and Russell Karloff
:: experiment with unorthodox guitar tunings and technique, and
:: continually obsess over the aesthetics of songcraft. Intricate
:: vocal counterpoint, modal harmonies and cagey rhythms--just a few
:: of the elements that contribute to the She, Sir sound.
::
:: Grusha and Karloff met while attending a music composition class
:: at Iowa State University in the fall of 2000. Later that
:: afternoon, the duo began writing music together.
::
:: The year is 2006, and there is no end in sight.
::

:: "She, Sir have one of the most modernly unique sounds I have
:: heard lately ...incredible ingenuity and a fitting flow. She,
:: Sirs music seems to be oddly engaging. The EP contains a
:: diverseness that should express great attention and detail to the
:: music at hand."
::
:: - Mike Mineo (Obscure Sound)
:: "Delicately harmonized vocals and transparent guitar hooks that
:: rarely backslide into simply leaden melodies. 'Who Can┤t Say Yes'
:: finds She, Sir's melodic rock unhurried atmospherics and sharp
:: melodies further adorned by layers of instrumentation. ...A band
:: happy with an uncommon melodious minimalism."
::
:: - Sabas (Sabas.Judas)
:: "The album holds up over multiple listens as different aspects of
:: the band's music come through. ...The lush texture on 'Who Can't
:: Say Yes' will hypnotize you."
::
:: - Brent (Consumption Junction)
:: "...this is what would've happened if shoegaze was around when
:: Bach was growing up. 'Intricately crafted' doesn't even begin to
:: describe it. Every sound has its counterpoint, every note is in
:: place."
::
:: - Charles Olney (Heartache with Hard Work)
:: "...you can hear the detail, not just the wash of different
:: sounds and layers: something that so, so many of the first-wave
:: shoegaze bands just couldn't pull off. They didn't know how to.
:: These guys do."
::
:: - Colin Clark (Let's Kiss And Make Up...)
:: "Think of that state of elevated drowsiness right before you go
:: to sleep, when music comes to you, but then you forget about it
:: the next day. She, Sir nailed that; Instant classic that will
:: drive me merrily insane."
::
:: - Linda (Eardrums Shall Fail)
:: "The attention to detail in the music is obvious, you get a sense
:: that they almost obsess over every note."
::
:: - Richard Gonzalez (Ultra8201)
