Elf Power

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The Athens, GA-based Elf Power emerged as part of the second wave of bands linked to the Elephant 6 Recording Company collective, a coterie of like-minded, lo-fi indie groups -- including the Apples (In Stereo), Neutral Milk Hotel, and the Olivia Tremor Control -- who shared musicians, ideas, and sensibilities. Formed by singers/multi-instrumentalists Andrew Rieger and Laura Carter, Elf Power debuted in 1995 with the self-released Vainly Clutching at Phantom Limbs, followed a year later by the Winter Hawk EP, which heralded the additions of bassis...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Elf Power's ninth album, In A Cave, blasts them past familiar territories and lands them on exciting new terrain. One of their most psychedelic records, it offers thirteen otherworldly tracks of chugging Krautrock rhythms, sing-song pop, and harmonically dense balladry. With In A Cave these seasoned indie rockers find the perfect synthesis of their organic live performances, instinctual ensemble playing and open-hearted experimentation.

Elf Power's latest album, "Walking with the Beggar Boys," marks a definite change in sound and style for Athens, Georgia's underground cult favorites. New members Eric Harris (formerly of The Olivia Tremor Control on guitar)and Craig McQuiston (formerly of the Glands on bass) join longtime members Andrew Rieger (singer/songwriter), Laura Carter (multi-instrumentalist), and Aaron Wegelin (drums), reinventing the band both musically and lyrically on their sixth release (April 2004). Musically the band is all    [ read more ]

The amicable departure of bassist Bryan Helium seems to have invigorated Elf Power, judging from the economical but intense performances throughout "Creatures." While adhering to the low-fi aesthetic of the Elephant 6 collective from which they came, the band spans the gap from neo-psychedelic to cosmic folk-rock, claiming as home base the niche established by Neil Young shortly after his flight from Buffalo Springfield. "Creatures" is a concept effort, built along a storyline that teems with slimy creature   [ read more ]

With Nothing's Going to Happen, Elephant 6 offshoot Elf Power offers a formidable collection of cover tunes. While fans may be disappointed that the album's offering is devoid of the combo's startlingly unique originals, this is a spirited collection, and Elf Power's selection of cover artists reads like a cult-hero hall of fame. The title track is from the Tall Dwarfs, the legendary New Zealand lo-fi outfit that includes Chris Knox, while king acid casualty Roky Erickson gets extend   [ read more ]

The aptly titled A Dream in Sound is Elf Power's creative breakthrough ? inventively produced by the great Dave Fridmann, the record is a great leap forward from the previous When the Red King Comes, boasting a bright, majestic sheen (the richest to grace an Elephant 6 release to date) that illuminates the striking pop melodies once buried below the group's fuzz-drenched surface. Although song titles like 'High Atop the Silver Branches' and 'Simon (The Bird with the Candy Bar Head)' serve noti   [ read more ]
