A set of feel-good rock songs from the Midwest
2010 | Label: Parasol / Redeye

Yes Yes Yes, the debut LP from Champaigne, Illinois's Elsinore is a set of feel-good rock songs that incorporate organs, horns, piano and atmospheric synths.

In songs like "In the Sea & Air" and the title track, frontman Ryan Groff's voice is a powerful yelp reminiscent of Cold War Kids' Nathan Willett, and it's an instrument all on its own.

About time this band gets a little E-music love- and the comparison to Nathan Willett is OK, except Elsinore's music doesn't wear me down like the Cold War Kids do...
