A photo of the best new CD I've heard in a long time. The CD is the latest gem from Elevator Ride: Pitiful Pulls At Cupid's Bow. I still want to listen more and more closely before I write a full review, but I do know that for me this is the best Elevator Ride release yet. It shows much more range than previous releases in terms of subject matter, musicianship, tone (by which I mean the "feel" of the songs or the sort of emotions they conjure), and production polish. I highly recommend this as a great Christmas gift for all the independent music-lovers in your life! (Yeah, I know the band, but take a listen for yourself; I think you'll agree this is great stuff!)
