Bellum Boca EP 'We Are All Around' Comes out Feb 2014

Molly

I made you a mixtape, you said it's not the 90's
Threw stones at your window, you said it's not the 80's
Lights are all dim, curtains closed
But you said that at 8, we'd go to the show
Please take your time
I don't mind the wait

I let myself right in and folded your laundry
I made up your bedding after my cat-nap
Lights are dim, curtains closed
I saw you come in three hours ago
Please take your time
I don't mind the wait

Episode 2! The second episode! We discuss the dangers of urban bike riding, Fred moves to New York City (so we play Smash or Send with Fred's dumb stuff,) Arisa has misadventures on Tindr, we talk earnestly about why some cities stink, ponder the miracle that is Coke Freestyle, and make fun of Fred throughout for voluntarily becoming East Coast Scum.

Episode 2 - Non-Nutritive Syrup

Trapped In The Solar System

Inspired by the subtle changes in the (falling figure) video, I layered two acoustic guitars (tuned to open D), a sliced up drum loop and a VST organ, then adjusted the master volume so each element faded in and out of the mix.

Each staff divided into 8 bars. I started running out of time, so this is just the first 64 bars.

Eiffel Tower EP (2010)
Will Perdue (2013)
The Jane Bryne EP (2014)
The Eugene Sawyer EP (2016)



The band Eiffel Tower was born in 2010 after the trio met while working together at a psych hospital in Chicago. The three quickly honed their live act and gained attention for their epileptic stage presence and catchy, “ear-cocaine” hooks, while their anxious, frenetic sound drew comparisons to The Feelies, XTC and Superchunk.

Thematically, ET’s music explores delusional thinking and coming of age in the cultural landscape of 80′s and 90′s era Chicago, starting with their 2010 eponymous EP. 

In 2013, the band penned the critically-acclaimed “Will Perdue.” which was recognized by Chicagoist as a “staff pick” for album of the year. The band followed with sharp follow-up EPs, “Jane Byrne” (2014) and “Eugene Sawyer” (2016) that furthered the band’s exploration of the themes of hypochondria, attachment, and the cataclysmic hazard posed by the confluence of the MRSA outbreak and trysts at erotic water parks.
