First, a quick comparison. Tortoise meets The Cure (at least on this track). Now, the instructions. Step one: listen to “Connie.” Step two: stream a few more tracks off their myspace page. Step three: see them live. Finally, step four: be amazed that El Ten Eleven consists of two musicians, and they pull this stuff off live.
this is great.
this is better than great.
I love these guys! There was once a point in time where I had the opportunity to buy a Carvin doubleneck guitar/bass similar to the one the guy in El Ten Eleven uses (check out this picture to see what one of these freaks of nature looks like – http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/images/80-dn64… ). Now I wish I woulda!

Hey Dave, I have one of these DN640 doublenecks – in fact, mine was just featured in Vintage Guitar magazine (the March '05 issue). Check it out right here: http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/images/05-vgdn…
Cheers!
