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
