Earlimart Filter Album Review and CMJ Charts

In a recent review, Filter Magazine gave Earlimart‘s latest album, System Preferences, an 82% grade, saying “it’s a joy to hear their sorrowful whispers and swirling, multi-instrumental collages after a four-year absence.” Read the review here. The record has introduced the band to a new group of music fans who maybe weren’t around for the band’s other six records. One of the more upbeat songs on the record “Internet Summer”, has had some stations concerned with what seems to sound like the word “f-ck” around the 0:37 mark. Singer Aaron Espinoza has clarified that the lyric actually says “folk Implodes”, a reference to Lou Barlow of Dinosaur Jr.‘s side-project The Folk Implosion. System Preferences made a small jump on the chart last week at CMJ — help make the record a big mover this week.
