The last time Earlimart came through town, they played at one of my favorite local dive bars ... and I didn't know it until two days later. Instead of catching a band that is rumored to put on a great live show, I was at home doing bank statements that night, bored and pitifully unaware. Just a terrible feeling when you miss an artist you've been wanting to see for a long time. Ever since, I've been vigilant about checking for upcoming shows in my area in the hope I won't make the same mistake twice; but in the case of Earlimart, performances outside California have been few and far between while they have worked on new songs. This is why I am so happy to hear that a release date for their new album, _Mentor Tormentor_ was just announced for August 21. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some live dates will ensue, and maybe I'll still get my chance _(Aaron Espinosa, are you listening?)_. Here's a sneak peek off the new album:
