They sound their best when they hit the shoegaze button the hardest, but that’s not to say that they ever sound bad. This little quartet out of San Francisco consists of Tim Botsford, David Lean, Alejandro Soini, Eric Szyslowski, and dash of self deprecating humour {which I guess makes them a quintet, but who’s arguing semantics?}. This is their sophomore effort, Continental Breakfast (iTunes), and I reckon their sound would tighten up and improve if they were to undertake a proper full length. If this little slice of four and a half songs that comes in just under fifteen minutes is any sort of indicator of Sir Salvatore’s musical aptitude I’d be willing to shell out some dough for a full length {of course I won’t have to, cause as a pretentious non-famous blogger I’ll convince someone to email it to me for free. At least that’s what you’re all thinking}.
mp3 : Sir Salvatore - Ambalina
mp3 : Sir Salvatore - Townies
I really like both of these songs, my only complaint being that Townies is cut far too short. These two tracks serve as the book ends for the five song EP and they do a nice job of encapsulating the indie efforts of Sir Salvatore. {In other news I’ve been watching far too much House lately which is probably influencing my writing style as of late. Oops}

gossip girl music, por favor? and what’s been happening with the episodes recently they’ve been so mixed up with the airing days!
by the way your blog just continues to keep amazing me - i love all the indie music and love learning about bands or people i never knew of before. this is great thank you.
thanks so much lyss. there’s only been one episode of gossip girl that i haven’t posted about yet. don’t worry, i’ll put it up as soon as a break in my blogging schedule allows. in other news i think that all the episodes of gossip girl have aired for this year {minus one new episode which airs monday}. the writers strike has killed all the shows, it just took gossip girl longer to die because it started later and had more in the bank due to it be amped up for a huge launch. oh, and they’re moving gossip girl to monday nights instead of wednesdays. maybe so they’re not competing with american idol?
oh wow i didnt even know about the writers being on strike. yeah i’m sure it’s because of the american idol slot at the same time. well i’m just glad they’re still continuing the show. thanks for the notice.
Have you ever written about Joe Purdy? I have recently been made aware of his existence and wanted to know what you think.
i’ve never written about him, but i have listened to him. awhile back. not anything recent enough that i could give an off the cuff opinion. i’ll see what i have of his.
