Speedmarket Avenue: "I Can Tell By Her Eyes"

After being smitten with Speedmarket Avenue's new record Way Better Now for the past several months, I decided it might be a nice idea to look into their earlier releases – a great idea, indeed. 6 years ago a pre-Sibille Attar Speedmarket Avenue released a four track 7" EP called Is Anything Ever Done? on tiny little Modesto Records in Sweden. The first track, "I Can Tell By Her Eyes" is probably the best song Speedmarket Avenue have ever written. Not that the new record isn't fantastic, but this song is just too too good. It's chock full of horn blasts and this little reverbed guitar picking that pops in now and then and it's just perfect. It's the little things, yknow? You should totally listen to it!

As far as I know, you can actually still order the 7" from Modesto's website HERE. It's says to check on Indiepages, but I'm not seeing it there, so I'm guessing they're no longer distributing it. It's worth whatever the shipping may be though, I assure you.
Way Better is out now on Elefant Records, and if you don't have it, get it!

New Speedmarket Avenue Video!

I don't know about anyone else, but for the past month or so, my ears have been glued – at least several times a day – to Speedmarket Avenue's new record Way Better Now. I'm in love with vocalist Sibille Attar's voice, it's so beautiful and effective on both the record's slower songs, as well as the bigger, more upbeat tracks, too. There's now a video for the record's title track "Way Better Now" and you should watch it because the song is awesome! Really awesome!
