    This cd is beautiful and perfect. Under the Radar must have had their head up their collective ass.

    A wonderful, beautiful ode to Smith. This is a remarkable album, losing points only because at times it sounds to eerialy like Smith. Earlimart has got to be one of the up and coming bands that will continue to produce great albums.

    Earlimart sounds like the bastard child of Air and Elliott Smith, with a couple of other influences thrown in. It's nothing particularly new or original, but worth listenting to nonetheless. Earlimart has a strong sense of melody that's worth sticking around for.

    Can anyone say Elliott Smith rip-offs?

    Espinoza's melodies evaporate in a way Smith's never did. [9 Dec 2004, p.180]

    Most of Treble & Tremble is about [Smith], making its early-morning melancholy and simple request to "take care of your heart" nothing short of gut-wrenching. [1 Oct 2004, p.74]
