Artist Description
"New York's noctural pop masters return with a dose of darkly sweet dream pop."-Aversion
"Elk City’s cool and elegant sound draws on 1980s “dream pop” and bits of 1960s folk-rock."
-The New York Times
"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
Elk City re-invent the seductive sophistication of 1970's FM radio pop - but never shy away from their formidable rock power.
Singer Renée LoBue possesses one of her generations most versatile and distinctive voices. Her melodic songs a veritable transit rail from the intoxications of 1960's Bay Area psychedelia to the smoky Parisian outposts which might once have hosted Nina Simone.
LoBue is perfectly-matched with guitarist Sean Eden, who joined Elk City soon after the break-up of the legendary Luna. Eden expresses and withholds his playing in a manner perfectly reflecting the hope and anxiety of LoBue's confessional lyrics.
This special evening performance celebrates the release of Elk City's 2010 album, 'House of Tongues'.
