Earlimart has a 'Song For' readers of The Beehive
It's a big day for Earlimart -- the band, not the city.
For the unaware: The indie duo is headed by Fresno-bred Aaron Espinoza, who used to play music and tend bar at The Fulton before he was even old enough to drink. But that was like 10 years ago.
Today marks the release of Earlimart's new album, "Hymn and Her," the first on its own Majordomo Records. To whet your appetite, Earlimart's publicity team hit off The Beehive with the album's first cut, "Song For," which we're giving up to you guys as a free download.
If you want to read more about what Espinoza is up to these days, I suggest this recent piece from L.A. Weekly that talks about his work at The Ship recording studio, his label deal and even name-checks Fresno and Rademacher.

Thanks for this post, Mike. I streamed part of the band's album off a MySpace bulletin they sent out this afternoon and it's predictably lovely.
My favorite Aaron Espinoza moment was several years ago when MTV still had the show 120 Minutes and the band was a guest. Aaron wore a faded yellow Big Fresno Fair shirt with the old sunshine logo and it really warmed my heart.

In a twist of Fresno fate, the drummer for Airborne Toxic Event, the other Majordomo Records band, is also from Fresno.
