Artist Biography
Indie rock veterans Elf Power were one of the most celebrated bands that emerged from the Elephant 6 Recording Company collective, along with Neutral Milk Hotel, the Apples in Stereo, and Olivia Tremor Control. Like their fellows in the Athens, Georgia musical community, Elf Power embraced a style that encompassed off-kilter psychedelic pop, lo-fi sonics, and the edgy but playful outlook of founders Andrew Rieger and Laura Carter. After some promising early efforts, the band first hit their stride in the studio with 1999's A Dream in Sound. With 2008's Dark Developments, they collaborated with Georgia songwriter Vic Chesnutt for a session that brought out the best in all participants. 2022's Artificial Countrysides was an unusually political work, with the melodies buffering a dour look at a world in chaos.
