System Preferences
Earlimarts System Preferences is a lush and lovely soundtrack for a sad, beautiful world. Its an album that touches on disillusionment with and acceptance of technology, complex relationships, and lost weekends. The Los Angelesbased duo of Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray retain tones and textures familiar to fans of the bands six previous albums of whispering and stomping indie rock. But theyve grown as songwriters and producers. From familiar sonic waters they embark on a journey that allows them to get lost -- with the novel excitement that entails. System Preferences is their sonic dead reckoning resulting in a joyous return to the bands Californian port of call.
