Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray of Earlimart spent the fall furiously working away in their studio. The fruit of their labor is the band’s Hymn and Her, due out on Majordomo in July.
You are indeed correct!
This is NO lie!
Here comes a new Earlimart record that you didn’t have to wait years to hear!
In fact after 10 years of being in the band, Aaron and Ariana have made a vow! A vow to disrespect all of the “crumbling music industry rules and release at least one record every fiscal year for the next 10 years. Or, unless Aaron and Ari decide that they don’t want to.
“We recorded the new album (Hymn and Her) really quickly….we didn’t wanna wait another 3 years to make another record. We just wanna keep makin’ stuff” says Espinoza.
In fact, plans have already been put in place for the follow-up to Hymn and Her.
“Well we are in negotiations with a satellite and space research company. I can’t say who they are just yet…..but we’re gonna start releasing records via satellite. Space downloads. We’re light years ahead of Radiohead….gonna plant that sucker right on the roof of “The Ship” and start broadcasting” says Espinoza.
But let’s get back to the subject at hand:
Hymn and Her was written and produced by Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray at the band’s Ship Studio in Eagle Rock, CA. The making of the record was quick compared to the two years of work that went into Mentor Tormentor, and it proves to be more organic and diverse than anything the band has done before. The band has over the years metamorphosed into a two piece – an introspective songwriting team whose recordings have lush production quality.
This new offering will be Earlimart’s second on Majordomo, an imprint formed as a partnership between Earlimart and Shout! Factory, offering the band greater creative freedom. Majordomo will also sign and produce other like-minded artists.
