Elf Power - "Soft Trash"

The latest from Elf Power is exactly what we'd expect from Elf Power in 2022. "Soft Trash" might be a little less weird than their earlier music. In fact, it's a great little oddball song with some killer pop hooks, but that seems pretty standard from most bands after they've been around for almost three decades. But, this is still Elf Power so as mainstream as this might sound in comparison, this is hardly a mainstream song. This might help mark Elf Power as entering their dad rock phase, and that's going to make us very happy.

Elf Power - "Undigested Parts"

Athens indie rock legends Elf Power are releasing their first new album in five years. The Elephant Six band has been kicking around for twenty eight years at this point, which is long enough that you'd expect them to slow down and start to release mediocre music, but if "Undigested Parts" is any indication, their upcoming album is going to be pretty great. "Undigested Parts" may not be as groundbreaking as A Dream in Sound sounded when I was in college, but that's only because music has caught up with Elf Power. This is a great indie rock song with some serious oddball pop hooks. It has just enough of that indie psychedelic sound so that you'll instantly know it's Elf Power.
