The coed members of Earlimart favor a midtempo approach to their start-stop motions of experimental post-punk, dreamy indie pop, and folky undertones. Named after a small California town located between Los Angeles and Fresno, Earlimart's unconventional songwriting structure drew early comparisons to <a href="spotify:artist:6zvul52xwTWzilBZl6BUbT">the Pixies</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5UqTO8smerMvxHYA5xsXb6">Sonic Youth</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:54NqjhP2rT524Mi2GicG4K">X</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:64tVHZVSAZhDEiOJxnb6hE">Sparklehorse</a>. This attention resulted in a deal with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Devil+in+the+Woods+Records%22">Devil in the Woods Records</a>, which released the albums Filthy Doorways and Kingdom of Champions in the winter of 2000. The Avenues EP appeared three years later, signaling a switch from the band's punky roots to a more sedate, hypnotic style reminiscent of <a href="spotify:artist:3W4xM5XYtUp4ifYYPVKVdk">Grandaddy</a>. The full-length Everyone Down Here arrived that same April, and Treble & Tremble followed in 2004. Moving further away from its post-punk beginnings, the band (whose chief member is Aaron Espinoza) released Mentor Tormentor in 2007, an album sonically influenced by <a href="spotify:artist:2ApaG60P4r0yhBoDCGD8YG">Elliott Smith</a> and heavily rooted in chamber pop and lo-fi. Released in 2008, Hymn and Her furthered that lush, spacy sound. After taking a few years off to participate in other projects, including the group <a href="spotify:artist:1SD0A3COOOiLeXkRs6zksQ">Admiral Radley</a>, Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray returned to Earlimart for 2012's System Preferences. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi
