July 17, 2009A New York band that plays smart, jazz-tinged, sometimes-topical indie-pop music, Elizabeth and the Catapult fuses sweet chamber-pop melodies with the charismatic vocals of Elizabeth Ziman. Click the link above to hear the group perform live in concert from WXPN and World Cafe Live in Philadelphia.

Elizabeth and the Catapult just released a fine new full-length album, Taller Children, which nicely captures the group's sophisticated sound. The disc is highlighted by its title track, which addresses the Wall Street crisis — and self-interest in general — in compelling, appealingly lighthearted fashion.
