pell mell, mogwai, labradford, the sea and cake.......2007-01-28

any of the above bandnames mean anything to you?
if so, you will find that L 10 11 hew to the lighter/happier side of
the post-rock/instro-rock dialectic.

very pleasant. very by-the-numbers, however.

mogwai are WAY more intense, but if you want something
to ease the pain of dusting yr furniture or scowering the bath, this is it.
i know that sounds dismissive, and Bar None is a very venerable label...but
prettiness, in this genre, is NOT ENOUGH.

now, here are a few recommendations of transcendental stuff that is out there
these dark days: YO LA TENGO, THE BLACK WATCH, ROBYN HITCHCOCK, and
MOGWAI!!!!!

who cares about cover art?.......2006-05-31

Yeah, so it's not an L-1011. Not that anyone would base historical airline research on Indie band cover art...

I agree with the *other* two prior reviewers. Only thing I have to add is that no matter how many times I listen to it, I can't get used to the end of "Bye Mom". Still, not enough of a negative to dock a star.

A fantastic instrumental indie album........2005-11-29

El Ten Eleven's debut album is fantastic. They have a very unique and fresh sound comprised almost entirely of bass and drums. Aside from having a unique set up, bass player Kristian Dunn takes further steps toward a unique sound by using a handful of looping and octaver pedals with fantastic results.

The songwriting is also fantastic. To me, it's a sound I have been looking for and couldn't find until now. It's an upbeat brand of overlapping, rythmic post rock. I definitely reccomend it!

chill smooth music.......2005-10-11

I orginally heard about this band on woxy.com and I loved what I heard. I actually listened to this for the first time on the way to the airport and the entire album is great. It is really a chill beautiful album with a feel good vibe.
