At Crystal Palace

At Crystal Palace is the second full-length record by San Fransisco's ERASE ERRATA. Recorded over two weeks at SF's Tiny Telephone Studios in winter 2003, the album presents a more firmly realized vision of "Other Animals"' skeletal possibilities. Though still high-energy and rocket-fuse quick, the new songs are moodier (good and bad) and more defined. Erase Errata know noisy and nice, dancey and disco-shy. Erase Errata ride on electricity, all twinkling lights and power surges. Bianca's drums are steady with shapes like waves, Ellie's bass an improbable anchor. Sara uses her guitar like scissors and tape. Jenny croons fantasy and talks diatribes of the everyday. Oh yeah -- she plays trumpet, too. Following the immense success of their debut "Other Animals," they've opened for the likes of The Fall, Le Tigre, Fugazi, The Ex, and Sonic Youth (who handpicked EE to perform as their guests at the prestigious All Tomorrow's Parties festival in 2002). In addition, in 2002, Erase Errata was named Best Indie Band in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Weekly and was nominated for the prestigious Short List Awards by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon. This is by far one of the most highly anticipated records of the year. Just ask Spin, NME, Rolling Stone, The Wire, Entertainment Weekly, or CMJ.
