Ebon Tale - Sit Down CDS (Dusklight Records)
I am happy to report that this young band has improved greatly since the last release that I reviewed (see 12/13/03). The strong elements from before are still there, such as frontwoman Frida Franzén's strong vocals. Pretty much every complaint I had from before has been remedied as well. The guitars are definitely the focal point now and the songwriting is far more developed. It's especially evident on the 10-minute instrumental b-side "This 6 year old feeling". They just sound much more confident together as a band. Good job - I look forward to hearing more.
