I found out about this band by accident. I happened too be watching an episode of Kyle XY (which is a show I never watch but it was late and my warm milk hadn't soaked in yet, not that its not a good show. Whatever) and the song Nevermind the phone calls came on. It peaked my interest and so I did some research and found them on several soundtracks for tv shows from Kyle XY, to House M.D. to The Riches. This is one of those bands that people hear on tv and is infectious but they get minimal radio play. Don't let that foul you into thinking they are not amazing it just means they aren't completely mainstreamed. So check them out.

Hymn and Her is the most recent release from Earlimart take a listen to it. The melodies are so beautifully arranged and the lyrics are reflective and awe inspired. This band takes you there. However, I really love their previous album Mentor Tormentor because it is more of a sublime and nostalgic album that reflects on loneliness and love. It is an interesting and not so classic take on the love song and the pining song.

Happy Alone by Earlimart
Call in the airstrike, tell them to make the drop
and initiciate a cycle no-one but you can stop
Would it be fair to say that you're in love with love?
And is that enough?

I bet you feel really potent stuff
the shadows of doubt on how things turn out
are typically gray

But even the stucco on the wall
is right two times a day
and it's still enough

Just how much distance means we're on our own?
and can we be happy
Happy alone?

The universe opens up the door
and we go right in, it's there, it's new, it's cool
it's something we ain't seen before

And five minutes in
an egg timer rings
to clip off our carefree flapping wings
show us the things we can't afford
and throw us overboard
but it's still enough.

Just how much distance means we're on our own?
until i see you off at home
down the sidewalk in my head
I might be sinking like a stone
but perfectly happy
just openly happy

In my home, I've always known
I gotta be happy alone
so burn the mail, destroy the phone
yeah, I'd wanna be happy alone
the moving sky, the rocks below
All so perfectly happy alone
