She is So Beautiful/She is So Blonde is the work of one individual’s home recording odyssey. Elliott Kozel (Sleeping in the Aviary) recorded the 11 tracks on SISB/SISB's debut album in his bedroom between the years of 2003-2007, and the stylistic range gives an insight into his varying musical experiments. With sounds ranging from the sparse acoustic side of Smog to the spacey soundscapes of Califone and The Microphones, Kozel has created a darkly engaging record that rewards repeated listens. Elliott has been involved in a veritable mountain of musical projects between his former residence of Madison, WI, and his current one in Minneapolis, MN, but his main focus is his pop/folk/garage/punk band Sleeping in the Aviary (in which he is the guitarist, vocalist and main songwriter). SitA released their debut album “Oh, This Old Thing?” in February of 2007, "Expensive Vomit in a Cheap Hotel" in October of 2008, and spend a few months each year touring around the country. SiSB/SiSB on the other hand, is solely a recorded effort with no plans to play the material out live, but is a creative outlet for Kozel’s ideas that don’t quite fit into the realm of SitA.

"The Elliott Kozel of Sleeping in the Aviary and Elliott Kozel the solo artist are very different animals. With the former, Kozel careens through inspired pop tunes that are by turns ramshackle, anarchic and sweet. As a solo artist, he paints in far more muted colors... Lo-fi alt-country-folk lopes easily toward the hazy horizon, atmospheric sonic experiments envelope Kozel's quavering voice as a few piano chords or an echoic sonic filigree blur the line between aural collage and deliberate composition. On his own, playing all the instruments and singing all the vocal parts, he's more surrealist than ash-can pop-punk." - Tom Laskin, The Isthmus
