(LP) P.S. Eliot (Katie Crutchfield & Allison Crutchfield) - Introverted Romance In Our Troubled Minds

Formed in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2007, P.S. Eliot was fronted by twin sisters Katie Crutchfield (vocals, guitar) and Allison Crutchfield (drums, vocals). They were joined on this record by guitarist Will Granger and bassist Katherine Simonetti. Recorded over just two days in a living room in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the album captures a transitional era of modern underground rock. 

 

Musically, the album delivers a fuzzy, melodic mix of pop-punk, lo-fi indie rock, and power pop. It stands out for its energetic, "gracefully shambolic" instrumentals paired with Katie Crutchfield’s stream-of-consciousness, melancholic lyrics about youth and communication. Following the band's dissolution in 2011, the sisters launched highly influential independent projects.
