Music:Member Since: 9/26/2005Band Website: theseunitedstates.net Band Members: ring leader Jesse Elliott album accomplice David Strackany road warriors Tom Hnatow Robby Cosenza brawlers bawlers bastards Mark Charles Justin Craig Josh Read Winston Yu Josh Wenk Rose Chris Walker Reuben Breslar Drew Thiemann Kate Rears Sitali Jessie Torrisi Adam Arcuragi Debbie Nangle Laura Burhenn The Federal Reserve Influences: birds leaving, nights of Chicago, every thunder, the things Mark Twain thought, the Staten Island commuter ferry, stories lies loves, Miles' space or breath, epic walks across massive cities, winding paths between tiny ones, dreams from inside of Jim Henson, thin wild Mercury, teeth tongues necks, Bo Diddley on fire, the widest blue possible, the impossible, Hunter Thompson's time well spent, fermented fruit, Norton Juster's tollbooth, day dying on the pale purple Pacific, people who live and those who try, This American Life, her hair, cab drivers, the rhythm section of Shakespeare's brain, and then of course Sounds Like: something you buy for money and love for ever. "...the kind of legs that don’t just clutch your undivided attention, but they envelope you, making you feel like soil piled onto soil, so naturally one with everything around you. It’s a feeling that doesn’t come from many records or out of very many people...It is, without being at all overly enthusiastic, one of the best records you will hear this year and it will make you feel completely human. You’ll feel your fingernails grow. You’ll start to understand what all of your facial muscles do when they’re not smiling or frowning. You’ll taste that blood as it finds all of your many cracks and detours. " -- DAYTROTTER -- "Plugging into this beauty makes the decision to post immediately a rather easy one. Jesse Elliott’s ultra articulate stroke of psych folk, A Picture of the Three of Us at the Gate to the Garden of Eden will take a while to completely digest…always a nice change of pace from simpler, immediate announcements like, “hey, here we are, and here is what we do, you dig?” No, Elliott and his mega band (he called upon some 30 D.C area musicians to lend a helping hand in recording the 36 minute album) crisscross plenty of ground on this debut. Ticking off genres, These United States paint a bold checkmark in the columns of pop, folk, rock, country, jazz, and lounge…and further listens are sure to reveal plenty more. Then there is the dense penmanship of Elliott himself…kind of gives Andrew Bird or Destroyer a run for their money in that department, if you ask me. All and all, expect to hear plenty more about this album, and the band that threw it all together." -- BAEBLE -- hm, let's see, how else would we describe it? yeah, yeah, what THEY said - yeah, that's Right, that sounds just about right...
