Elizabeth & The Catapult Taller Children in Stores Today

“The song ‘Taller Children’ is an ode to all of the adults who just never quite figure out how to grow up. On a grand scale, that can sometimes be a pretty scary concept, especially when it’s regarding people in power who can’t handle their responsibilities,” says Elizabeth Abby Ziman, Elizabeth & The Catapult’s vivacious singer-songwriter. “But on a lighter and more personal note, I’m just owning up to the fact that I still can’t manage to cook a decent omelet- and I’m not afraid to laugh about it”.

“Taller Children” MP3

Today, June 9, Elizabeth & The Catapult’s debut album Taller Children is in stores everywhere.  Taller Children reflects the unique blend of pop playfulness and grown-up introspection that defines Ziman’s distinctive songwriting.  In addition Elizabeth Abby Ziman, the Brooklyn trio also includes guitarist Pete Lalish and drummer Danny Molad.

Although the bulk of Taller Children was recorded with producer Mike Mogis (noted for his work with the likes of Bright Eyes, M. Ward and Rilo Kiley), several of the album’s performances were drawn from the homespun demos that the band recorded in drummer Molad’s home studio. The resulting album strikes a vital balance between lush sophistication (with such elements as Ziman’s elegant string arrangements) and spare, unadorned simplicity.
