Elika – Virtual Ambient 7″
Trouble sleeping? Try some new ambient shoegaze. And if you still can’t sleep after listening, download it for free and count sheep.
Elika are a New York based duo who operate in shy floppy fringe territory. But this 3 track release is out on Everything Is Chemical records and is an ambient departure. Endlessness is full of drawn out tones and phases with dark undercurrents. A Hurricane, A Bar and an Uncle is a brief rain-washed interlude before I Love You and I Suffer. This returns to the tones and themes explored in Endlessness with long plaintive held notes.
Blurb: Indie/Electronic/Dreampop from Brooklyn. Honey-coated female vocals lay atop a bed of textured guitars, synths, throbbing bass & meticulously programmed drums. All good since 2005.
