Just a quicky from me tonight. Eli August & the Abandoned Buildings<\/a><\/strong> isn’t new, though they’re new to me. They hail from Baltimore, Maryland (and also NYC and Philly, apparently). I’d call their sound Haunted Americana<\/em>. This is definitely music to drink whiskey and take sleeping pills to, but please don’t do that, ok? Lyrically desolate and musically rich, this stunning ensemble features at times just acoustic guitar and banjo, and at other times everything but the kitchen sink — Robare Pruyn (Clarinet, Alto Sax, Accordion, Electric Guitar & Vocals), Matt DeBlass (Mandolin & Vocals), Molly Hebert-Wilson (Vocals), Noam Berg (Mandolin & Vocals), Alex Bell (Drums & Washboard), Melissa Perry (Vocals), Rebekah Greene (Double Bass), Tom Sowinski (Tuba & Vocals), Doug Bischoff (Trombone & Vocals), Terry Greene (Trombone), and Brennan Kuhns (Electric Guitar). They have a 5-track EP called Heartache Suite coming September 2. The track listing is Overture \/ Although You\u2019re Gone \/ Holy Ghost \/ Slow Start \/ Wrought. Here’s a sampling:<\/p>\n

“Maybe it’s about time that I admit the past exists.
\nMaybe it’s about time that it dies, bound by both its wrists.
\nMaybe it’s about time that I sink below the waves
\nand all the emptiness I’ve felt deserves a murky, unmarked grave.”
\n– Although You’re Gone<\/p>\n

Cheery. Until these happy party tunes grace our shores, you can listen to their last recording below.<\/p>\n
