For their sixth full-length, HYMN AND HER, Earlimart continues many of the musical themes begun on its predecessor, MENTOR TORMENTOR. Remaining a duo--Aaron Spinoza and Ariana Murray--and recording at their own home studio in Eagle Rock, California, Earlimart create the most organic and alluring set of pop songs in their decade long stint. Combining equal doses of Elliot Smith's intimacy and the Breeder's sunkissed economy, HYMN AND HER is the perfect soundtrack for a summer road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway.
