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 knows noisy and nice, dancey and disco-shy.
ERASE ERRATA rides 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 (tmu 081), they've opened for the likes of The Fall, Le Tigre, Fugazi, The Ex and Sonic Youth (who hand-picked EE to perform as their guests at the prestigious All Tomorrow's Parties festival in 2002).
