"The Chess Hotel" was actually their third full-length release. Two fantastic albums were released earlier in the decade (and a fourth and final record was released in 2009). Their first full-length record has a special charm about it that will always make it my favorite of the four. Hardly a bad track in the bunch, the lead off song "Hey Hey" is just one of many highlights. It may be over now for The Elms, but do yourself a favor and mine their entire underrated catalogue.

"Hey Hey" by The Elms
One of the near-misses of the 2000s was a little indie band from Indiana called The Elms. The band scored a major label debut in 2006 with "The Chess Hotel". But despite critical acclaim and opening slots with bands like Cracker and Goo Goo Dolls, they struggled to get significant traction.
