"A sort of Silverlake-style Sigur Ros, the L.A. duo makes instrumental music that's both highly skilled and deeply felt... the duo's compositions take on an incredible musical and emotional complexity." - Spin

  • Underrated and experimental album
    author: Dylan Wells

    El Ten Eleven's first album was popular because it's an extremely good debut album, and their newest album (These Promises Are Being Videotaped) is popular because they changed their style so much, but their second album was overlooked for reasons unknown to me. The first three songs are some of the best they've written, and there's a shift in sound from their first album. On this album, the drummer does a lot more with the electronic drum set, experimenting with hip-hop beats on "Estrella" and "Keep." Some of the songs are more hard-hitting, like "Hot Cakes" and "Living on Credit Blues," and "The 49th Day" is the closest they've come to post-metal, going from subtle ambiance to heavy bass-mashing. The last song starts with a sweet and mellow bass loop, but turns into a mess of feedback that ends well past the seven-minute mark (with no keyboards). If you like the samples, you will not be disappointed.

    I have been waiting for the follow up to Ten Eleven for so long and this album did not disapoint! It is definitely a progression from their first album, but all of the great elements that made the debut great are still there. If you are a fan of instrumental rock, pick this up!!!

  • Love it!
