Release Notes:
The music of Private Eleanor, who hail from the
underdog city of Baltimore, has been called
everything from "whisper-folk-pop" to "infectious
indie-rock" to "moody, progressive pop." At various
points, they manage to conjure Mojave 3 produced by
Wilco, or Simon & Garfunkel fronting the
Dismemberment Plan, or Yo La Tengo tackling your
favorite Neil Young and Big Star songs.
Sweethearting, the band's fourth full-length record,
is the most confident and direct effort yet in a
critically-acclaimed body of work stretching back to
their lo-fi cassette days at the beginning of the
decade. With the help of two of the nearby DC
scene's most in-demand engineers - T.J. Lipple and
Chad Clark - the band has captured a remarkable set
of songs, full of sly hooks and sparkling textures,
gorgeous boy/girl harmonies and
oblique-but-evocative storytelling.
