New ‘We Are Married’
May 10, 2007
A few months ago, I posted a new track from Eliza Douglas’ band We Are Married. Back then all she had up was a demo featuring various members of Devendra Banhart’s band Power Mineral-most likely even Devendra himself and Andy Cabic. Eliza has just posted two new songs from what I can only speculate is an upcoming album. One of the new songs named “Shells” has (I think) Devendra singing back up and the other new one, “Bed,” possibly has Jana Hunter guesting. Who do you hear? As I said, details are scarce. Regardless, I really enjoyed these new tracks with Douglas’ unique vocal stylings. Anyways, give ‘em a listen- who do you think she’s playing with? If you have any more information about these songs let me know.

From one of the less spoken about members of Devendra Banharts backing band Power Mineral comes a new single. Performing under the name We Are Married, Eliza Douglas, has only recorded one song to my knowledge and recently posted it on her myspace page. Information about her and her solo recordings are scarce but I am fairly certain that Devendra Banhart and Andy Cabic are backing her on the new demo. Eliza Douglas has also recorded with Telepethe, and Bunnybrains. What stands out most to me about this new track is the harmonizing between her and Devendras vocals. Their drawling voices sound as one throughout the song and combine with the slanky bass backing riff to form the muddy memory of a love that has left. I can’t wait to hear more from her.
