It’s still about two months away from the release of the album, but today Nana Grizol bring us the second single from their second album Ruth. In true Nana Grizol fashion “Galaxies” highlights Theo Hilton’s voice and wonderful lyrics.  ”Galaxies” is almost minimalist in the sense that it starts with just guitar, minimal beats, and vocals but as the song continues the slow but incremental addition of different instruments brings the song around to show the collectivist elements that I associate with E6.  ”Galaxies” just hints at the subtleties that are to come from Ruth, and give us all a reason to be excited.  Nana Grizol  keeps with the same tradition that made me love them on Love It Love It!, but they are slowing down a bit and refining what they due, at least on some of the songs.  Don’t worry though the rocking punk aesthetic that was present though out Love it Love it is still there on Ruth.  Ruth will be out on January 12th on Orange Twin.

As always The Creative Intersection is keeping me up to date with the Elephant Six news, and when this track popped up on my reader I just had to re-post it.

Nana Grizol are working on  a new album, and if Love It Love It is any indication this should be an indie pop gem.  I’ve said it before…this band reminds me a lot of music that I used to like college…up beat indie rock… but with really honest lyrics (which looking back on it probably wasn’t the case with a lot of the bands I liked in college), and a killer horn section (the remnants of Neutral Milk Hotel’s horn section actually).  Theo Hilton is an excellent song writer, and his music can really put you in a great mood.  I went through a phase toward the end of the summer where this band was all I wanted to listen too, and I’m glad to be hearing something new.

The first single from their to be released second album titled Ruth was just released through impose:

Ruth will be out in January 2010 on Orange Twin Records.  But before that Nana Grizol is going on tour!  I’m very excited to see that they will be hitting up Cake Shop for a Sunday show early next month.
