Elizabeth And The Catapult: Sophisticated And Whimsical Chamber Pop




Soundcheck show

Summary: After the release of its self-titled debut EP in 2006, Elizabeth And The Catapult became something of a popular but underground staple in the Lower East Side in Manhattan. But after the success of 2010's acclaimed album, The Other Side Of Zero, frontwoman Elizabeth Ziman stepped away from it all. In that time she took up the guitar, busked in the Brooklyn subways, played drums with Kishi Bashi, and wrote music for films with her friend Paul Brill.  But now, Ziman has reunited with her old bandmates Dan Molad and Pete Lalis (both of whom also play with the band Lucius) for a new record, Like It Never Happened. A classically-trained pianist and vocalist who attended Berklee College of Music, Ziman has always brought a sophisticated musicianship to her baroque songs, with whimsical, yet topical lyrics and warm, jazz-infused pop arrangements. And with songs like "More Than Enough" and the title track, the band sounds as good as ever. Hear Elizabeth and the Catapult perform songs from Like It Never Happened in the Soundcheck studio.
