April 17th released upon the world another deceptively sweet and seemingly naive songstress (& co). Elk City is part morphine, part jelly donut and part puppy-dog smiles.
Granted there are 3 other people in Elk City, the most notable of which is the voice of Renée LoBue.
When your own label describes you as such: "Firebrand Renée LoBue brings you on a free- wheeling make-out session after your worst break-up." ou're probably doing something right. Because hey, who doesn't like free-wheeling make-out sessions?
I file these guys under the "Music That Makes Me Happy" category.
Here's Cherries In The Snow , Los Cruzados and You Got Me. , for you to download. Mosey on over here and put some food on their tables.
Now let's work on letting some of that pain go:

Thanks for posting this...I have been hearing things but hadn't gotten around to listening.
Sounds like she is trying a few different things hear...Cherries sounds like a female Dinosaur Jr./Sebadoh...but You Got Me is a lovely pop dittty...almost a Ben Kweller thing gonin on.
Thanks.

You know? I wouldn't have used the female Dino Jr comparison, but it def works.
Same with me. I kept hearing how great they were so finally i was like "UHHHH, I'll listen, I'll listen! Oh... my. This is. ...this is totally good!"
