PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES
Elan Vital

This album fails to contain the massive energy of their previous release with the band losing a guitar player and adding a keyboard player. The sound is still similar although showing signs of growth and experimentation, including "Selling the Wind," with it's accordian lead. "Parade" stands out as a classic that is sure to be a crowd pleaser at their electrifying live performances.

standout track: "Parade"
