Love of Everything

Best In Tensions LP/Digi

Record Label April 6, 2010

An integral part of the Midwestern music scene for over a decade, Love of Everything’s Bobby Burg still has a lot left to accomplish.

Recorded at Chicago’s Semaphore Recording Ltd. on the city’s west side, Best In Tensions marks the first time Burg has taken his short, catchy, naive 'music poems' out of the bedroom and into the studio.

This time, he’s not doing it alone. Joined by his wife, Canadian transplant Elisse La Roche, as well as friends, former and future band mates and whomever else was on-hand to lend their talents, Best In Tensions shelves the “one-man band” ideal in favor of the richer, fuller sound of a band with multiple members.

La Roche had never played drums before joining Love of Everything. Motivated by an opportunity to tour Europe, she learned the basics, studied the songs and found herself installed as Love of Everything’s permanent drummer.
