Description

Elf Power featuring E.R. Jurken + The Anchorites “Artificial countrysides” is the term Elf Power coined to describe the gray zones where the natural world collides with the creeping encroachment of the digital realm, where the balance between real and simulated can shift from one minute to the next. Artificial Countrysides is also the name of the Athens, Ga., band’s new album, their first since 2017 and their first for Yep Roc. It’s a collection of 12 spellbinding psych-laced songs that blur the line between traditional and futuristic while seeking to make sense of our relationship to each. Artificial Countrysides is Elf Power’s 14th album in a catalog that includes collaborations with acclaimed producer Dave Fridmann (1999’s A Dream in Sound) and indie-folk singer Vic Chesnutt (2008’s Dark Developments). The band has toured North America, Europe and Japan, playing alongside acts including R.E.M., the Flaming Lips, Dinosaur Jr., Neutral Milk Hotel, Guided by Voices and Arcade Fire. Elf Power is a member of the heralded Elephant 6 collective with their friends and collaborators Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, of Montreal and many more.
