Norah Jones signs to Conor Oberst's label Team Love
sort of....
"Born of social ineptitude and an ageless belief in trick-or-treatery, EL MADMO offers escape, justice, karmic postulation, and that feeling you get when you know something that no one else does. Starting out as a garage band trapped in the basements of various hockey arenas, theirs is a powerfully raw sound that could only be inspired by the smell of Zamboni fuel and sweaty skates.To be more specific, the record will be released on Team Love Records (a New York City-based independent record label founded by Conor Oberst and Nate Krenkel in 2003"), home of Tilly & The Wall, Jenny Lewis, Gruff Rhys, David Dondero, and Craig Wedren. You'll notice the press release doesn't actually say anything about Norah Jones, but you can see that that's her if you look close at the picture. Okay, I wouldn't have noticed either, but when I heard the news, I thought, "El Madmo....that sounds familiar....". Cover art and tracklist below.....The band consists of guitarist/singer, Maddie, bassist/singer, El, and majestically afroed drummer, Mo. Their self-titled debut album is a solid piece of body rocking ear-munition revealing a musical labyrinth that challenges you to, "Choose your own adventure." From the Aeolian darkness of "Vampire Guy", to the sassy cha-cha of "Fantasy Guy", to a song that simply asks, "What good is a smile when your head's in a vise?", EL MADMO serves up a hot and tasty meal that'll fill you up and also "Rock Yer Balls Off."
EL MADMO's Debut record will be released on 5/20."
Track List:
1. Carlo!
2. Head in a Vise
4. GGW
5. Sweet Adrenaline
6. Attack of the Rock People
7. The Best Part
8. Fantasy Guy
9. I Like it Low
10. Scary Lady
11. Nonny Goat Mon
12. Rock Yer Balls Off

Conor Oberst should do music fans a favor, stop making music and concentrate on being an executive.
