Album Notes

"Nothing for Design" was recorded with Mark Rubel at his Pogo Studio in Champaign, IL from October 2005 to February 2006, and was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music, who was simultaneously mastering Sufjan Stevens' upcoming release. The album is 12 songs and 53 minutes. Half of the songs were on our live album from October and the other half are completely new and previously unreleased. This is our first full-length studio album and we couldn't be happier with what those seven months culminated into. Our hearts and minds and sweat are laced into this recording, hinting at our personal lives, but also telling fictions of the world around us here in Illinois. This is our first big step into the music world, and along with a summer tour of the Midwest, we hope it pushes us up to the next level on the touring-band totem pole.

From the first notes of the opening "Mind, Space, and Time" through live favorites like "Vampire in My Town" and "The Rise," the band captures the listener's attention with the very best that the Americana genre has to offer - engaging lyrics and a sound that feels like coming home.

This CD is often about coming and going from home.

The title track, Kate, has the woman leaving home for the left coast with no plans but plenty of gumption, and it is about how she affects the people back home. Track three has the narrator arriving home to chaos in Vampire in my town, with incredible images and a rocking tune that follows the shaking discovery of a trashed house. Home is actually mentioned specifically in the next track with the heart being: it's my mess and its what I call home. Another home is to be held by another human being on a cold night. In another song Elsinore says, Love can be what you call home. But best of all is the song, Carolina, where the singing persona gives a home to the fantastic chorus person described as: I found you on your side, Barely breathing, half alive.... And the singing persona gives her a metaphorical home by being her friend. Incredible Writing. Wonderful Elsinore Cd.-- Jessica Lewis Watson
