About Me |
|
| NEW BELIEVERS - IN STORES NOW! "Elk City’s cool and elegant sound draws on 1980s “dream pop” and bits of 1960s folk-rock." - The New York Times "...they sound better than ever." - All Music Guide "...adventurous, postpunkadelic arrangements...an irresistible power-pop vibe." - HARP "Renee LoBue sounds like a hundred different singers without ever failing to sound like herself." - emusic "Elk City’s intent in bringing some raw emotion and soul into post-punk is commendable and gutsy." - Amplifier "Elk City is one of NYC's best kept secrets; they'll appeal to fans of the Clientele, Camera Obscura and, seriously, Fleetwood Mac." - L Magazine "Renée LoBue's voice is astounding - she has incredible range and sounds like a female Bowie engaged in a three-way with Hope Sandoval and Patti Smith. " - The Village Voice "...LoBue's bottomless supply of heart leads the band into new worlds where indie pop and soul effortlessly overlap." - Aversion ""Totally Free" is...one of the best times you'll have listening to a song so far this year." - the Tripwire "LoBue is a firebrand - soft and gentle one minute, raising the hairs on your neck the next." - PopMatters "Elk City simply excel in making beautiful pop songs that are as interesting as they are unassuming. " - Magnet "The new album from the new Elk City builds on the band's past successes with impressive, unpretentious musical eclecticism. Surprising lyrics reveal a humane, contagiously optimistic heart." - Gordon Cox (Variety) discography: New Believers (LP-2007 Friendly Fire Recordings) Hold Tight the Ropes (LP-2002 Touch & Go) The Sea is Fierce (EP-2001 Touch & Go) status (LP-2000 Hidden Agenda) |
