    Back after its highly respected and sought after debut, Echoes of Laughter, Farewell to Juliet bring to the table a highly credible, mostly pop-oriented record entitled Grace and Dire Circumstances. Jeff Elbel is a great producer, guitarist, and writer, so it's a blessing to have his name show up in the credits before I even hear the record. The song "Justice" appeared as "Bean" on a project by Elbel's other band, Sunny Day Roses, but then, of course, with a female vocalist. Steady BGV's, balanced guitars, and credibly sung lyrics put this record on a high rung of the indie ladder. For info, write to Marathon Records, PO Box 1222, El Segundo CA 90245-6222
