Elysian Fields :: Bend Your Mind
First an announcement: I cannot figure out how to make post 59 all the same size text. Thus the Internet has either beaten me in a battle of wits, or i have broken it. Sorry.
Back to business!
Elysian Fields is amazing. This is fact, not opinion. Elysian Fields was founded sometime in the 1990's and is composed of the wonderful Jennifer Charles (see post 29) and Oren Bloedow.
They have a beautiful sound. The following words could describe it, but i can't commit to any one adjective or grouping there of: artsy, noir, sultry, sexy, indie, dreamy, in-you-face awesome, lyrical, melancholy, ect.
The list could go on.
Here are the things you need to know:
(1) Elysian Fields are easily in my top 5 favorite bands of all time.
(2) They have several albums: Bleed Your Cedar, Queen of the Meadow, Dreams that Breathe Your Name, Bum Raps and Love Taps, and (in 2009 according to the Internet) The Afterlife.
(2a) Their side projects include, many guest vocals, collaborations and the project La Mar Enfortuna. An excellent Sephardic study, playing 11th-16th century songs.
(3) This band has nothing to do with the Megadeath song titled Elysian Fields.
(4) Choosing a song has been incredibly hard, as there is little that is on the Internet, and I'm no pirate.
I urge you, please listen to more of this band! Find more on the Internet, go to your library and check out their Cd's, buy the albums from Itunes. Just do it!!
