While
I feel as if I have long heard the name Elf Power, I’m not sure that I’ve ever
heard their music before so it seems only fitting to hear it for the first time
on cassette. There is a distinct
familiarity when it comes to the music of Elf Power, but I still just cannot
place them to one specific band that they sound like and that’s not a bad
thing.
The
bedroom pop rock sound of Elf Power brings to mind a band such as Phantom
Planet, but at other times it has this low hum that can bring out someone like
either Flaming Lips or Beck. Again,
these are all artists in the same general realm of music, but not necessarily
ones that copy each other and so I feel as if Elf Power would just kind of
stand with them rather than next to them.
Some
of this guitar work reminds me of the better guitar riffs of a band like
Weezer, and then Elf Power also brings out piano for something like Copeland or
Waking Ashland which is just on a whole other level.
At
its core, the music is dreamy and just all around beautiful no matter who it is
compared to or put in the same sentences as.
This is something that you should be listening to for the same reasons
you should be listening to The Beatles.
