El Ten Eleven: New Song Available!

Submitted by admin on January 29, 2008 – 8:31 pmNo Comment

“Jumping Frenchmen of Maine” may seem like something out of a dream, or perhaps an odd nonsensical thought you had while you were driving in your car today, but don’t consider yourself so clever. Jumping Frenchmen of Maine is a new song released by El Ten Eleven, the post rock duo from L.A. The group consists of only Kristian Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty. Their simple, playful approach to the post rock genre has been refreshing for me since I stumbled upon them in 2006, a brief year after their self-titled release off of the Bar/None Records. Bar/None has had other successes with talented bands such as Architecture In Helsinki, Of Montreal, They Might Be Giants and even the indispensible Yo La Tengo back in 1990; El Ten Eleven truly is the label’s little known secret.

On January 28th, the band posted their new single for free (or whatever you would like to donate for it). From their post:
“We’ve made a brand new track available for online listening and download, Jumping Frenchmen of Maine. It’s from our forthcoming E.P., but you can hear it here first. Thanks for listening!” (you can go to the download page here)
This is one of 5 free downloads the band offers on their site. The other four are from their sophonmore album Every Direction Is North, which was released in July of 2007. These songs include “3 Plus 4“, “Living On Credit Blues“, “Hot Cakes” and “Lorge“. A few personal recommendations from their 2005 self-titled album are “Central Nervous Piston“, “Fanshawe” and “Connie“.
