Getting an email announcing a new Elliott BROOD album is like manna from heaven. I was excited when I read the email and saw the above photo. Listening to the lead track, Jigsaw Heart just made me more excited. We had the Canadian trio in for a HearYa session back in 2009. Work And Love will be released on 10/21 via our friends to the North, Paper Bag Records. Here’s some info from the PR machine:
On ‘Work and Love,’ Elliott BROOD’s two songwriters Casey Laforet and Mark Sasso decided to mine the bare histories of their own lives: penning verses about the ends of relationships and the tests of adulthood, long drives, childhood retreating in a rear-view mirror. ‘Work and Love’ also serves as a eulogy for the moments on the doorstep of manhood: first loves, lost loves, and young men’s just desserts. Select tracks on the album feature Aaron Goldstein (City and Colour) on pedal steel and John Dinsmore (Kathleen Edwards, Sarah Harmer) on bass. ‘Work and Love’ is Elliott BROOD at their sheerest, facing forward and backward at the same time.
