Tailspin [CD]

After seven years, Tailspin marks the long-awaited return of Los Angeles songwriter Eleni Mandell. Blending noir romance, West Coast cool, and poetic wit, Mandell pairs smoky, jazz-tinged vocals with razor-sharp storytelling that moves effortlessly between lounge, folk, alt-country, and indie rock. Cinematic, intimate, and emotionally precise, Tailspin reaffirms her status as a cult favorite and one of modern songwriting's most quietly powerful voices.

"Mandell's well-sculpted songs are immediately accessible, additionally offering images, declarations, and melodic movements that precipitate complex and lingering responses" - No Depression

"For those who don't know Eleni, we're speaking of a twenty-year-long, flawless career: in each of her records, there's a unique songwriting mark... It's a treasure trove of records in which songwriting has never missed a beat" - For Folk's Sake
