The Atlanta, Ga.-based Ginger Envelope returns with its second full-length, Invitation Air (One Percent). Recorded to a 16-track analog tape, this album ups the twang factor, showcasing Matt Stoessel's pedal steel and Patrick Carey's smoke-filled, lazy, almost-rasp. Despite frontman Carey's aversion to the alt-country classification, the Ginger Envelope seems to have only further countrified its [...]
Hey guys, girls, etc. As you may have noticed, I've not posted in ages. There's a good reason for that. I've been out of town house sitting for the last couple of weeks and the house didn't have Internet. So needless to say, without Internet you can't exactly do posts. Ha. Anyway, I'm back and have ALOT of catching up to do. My mail box is currently packed to gills w/300 items to respond to. What's that mean? It more than likely means a bumper crop of tracks for you to download over the coming week or so. [...]

![The Ginger Envelope: Invitation Air [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1817949_lg.jpg)
In Invitation Air , The Ginger Envelope 's follow-up to Edible Orchids , the band displays an impressive progression in songwriting and instrumental capabilities. Cohesive is its nature; this album goes very well alongside their earlier work. But from the opening track, "Turn Into Tempests", it's readily apparent that a change has occurred, one that finds The Ginger Envelope giant leaps ahead in their ability to wow the listener. Invitation Air has an impeccable flow. Each song has a sort of symmetry that crecendos and [...]

Oh man, I am on fire with the puns lately, right? Today, we're introducing an Athens, GA band, The Ginger Envelope [ MySpace ], and the latest single from the upcoming album, Invitation Air . The record is dropping on 6/27, so we wanted to share a tune, "All Pinned Down," with you. For the record, I don't think there is a redhead in the bunch, a fact that makes me really, really sad. Check out the new Ginger Envelope tune "after the jump" [...]
Reflections Of Misery I've been finding it hard to listen to folk music lately; I've been discovering a lot of artists who push themselves forward vocally, somewhat undermining the importance of good instrumentation. I know that folk music is based very strongly around lyrics, but there needs to be a balance. The Ginger Envelope captures the roots of folk music nicely, achieving a soulful blend of vocal harmonies and smooth instrumentation. There's a southern twang in singer Patrick Carey's voice, pedal steel gently sliding from the hands [...]

![The Ginger Envelope: Edible Orchids [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1606166_lg.jpg)
One can draw several conclusions from the cover of Edible Orchids . First, it gives the distinct impression of The Ginger Envelope being a post-Elephant 6 band. The green tint, personally, takes me back to Everything Is Green , an early release by The Essex Green on Elephant 6 and the newly resurgent Kindercore. The name of the band and album is the second hint—the names roll off the tongue like those off the lovable indie pop label. So, one shouldn't be too surprised that The Ginger Envelope hail from Athens, an [...]

Sometimes an album just jumps out at you. Sometimes it doesn't (and there's a reason). And then there are ones such as Edible Orchids that just sneak up on you. On the first listen, you know it's got something to it, you just can't put your finger on it. So you listen to it again. And again. And again. Each time you hope to crack the code: to figure out what about it makes you keep listening to it instead of putting it in the pile to trade in at the local [...]
Download: The Ginger Envelope—"Failsafe" Download: The Ginger Envelope—"Dirty Penny" Download: The Ginger Envelope—"Caretaker" Every time I see Ginger Envelope I come away even more convinced that they are a great band. A few nights back at the 40 Watt, after playing their LP Edible Orchids in its entirety, the band played a second set of more recent material, which was equally strong. The songs above are from the aformentioned LP. Enjoy!
