  • The Botticellis is a band based in San Francisco consisting of singer/guitarist Alexi Glickman, drummer/multi-instrumentalist Zack Ehrlich, guitarist/keyboardist Burton Li, singer/lyricist Blythe Foster, and bassist Ryan Browne. Their debut record Old Home Movies, released by Antenna Farm Records in 2008 received critical acclaim from notable sources such as NPR, Dusted Magazine, Allmusic, Pitchfork, and MP3 blogs such as Daytrotter and Crawdaddy!. The album was produced by the band with contributions from Jason Quever (of Papercuts) and violinist Anton Patzner and keyboardist Matt Henry Cunitz. The group completed their first US tour in support of Old Home Movies in June 2008, having previously toured the west coast extensively. The band's name derives from "Botticelli", which means "little barrell," a surf term for a small, tubular wave found along many California beach-breaks. The Botticellis' sound has been described as "chamber pop" and likened to the California surf music of the 1960's as well as post-Beatles pop groups like Big Star, Chris Bell, Raspberries, ELO, George Harrison, Belle & Sebastian, Paul Simon and similar artists who are known to bring sophistication to pop composition.
