Mentor Tormentor

Los Angeles-based band Earlimart release their fifth album, 'Mentor Tormentor' - the follow-up to the band's critically-acclaimed 2004 release 'Treble & Tremble', which garnered considerable praise from Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Interview Magazine, among many others, while the band went on to play sold-out shows across the U.S.

'Mentor Tormentor' was written and produced by Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray at The Ship, the band's studio in Eagle Rock, CA, and mixed by Dave Trumfio at Kingsize Soundlabs in Los Angeles. Recording in their own studio gave Espinoza, Ariana Murray and Joel Graves the luxury to write, record and shape Mentor Tormentor at their own pace, working with drummers Scott McPherson and Russell Pollard.

From countless songs and takes, the record began to take form in late 2006. The final 15-track line-up of songs is the band's strongest and most collaborative work to date.
