Elliott - False Cathedrals [12", LP]


What can i say. I totally fell in love with this album, the second by ELLIOTT, when it came out in 2000. They released another album after this (Song In The Air, from 2003) and i saw the band live for the first time shortly after that. It was pretty amazing. But later that same year they sadly called it quits. I had FALSE CATHEDRALS only on CD and it was in my player every now and then. But somewhere around 2008/2009 i probably lost interest, or anyway i can't recall that i've played it since then.
But then, only a few months ago, i discovered that it had been repressed by Revelation last year for the first time in 12 years, since its original release. Only 500 copies were made and i didn't hesitate a moment and ordered one. Luckily it wasn't sold out yet. And since then, spinning rounds on my record player, the magic has come back! Never particularly been into the whole emo thing at the time - but this album, people... this really is an absolute masterpiece.
