Title: One of those dreams you can't remember when you wake up
Review: For every one Elephant 6 band that is good, there are two that give the collective a bad name. Elf Power fits into the latter category.A lot is made of the "new psychedelic renaissance," with Elephant 6 leading the way. But this stuff wouldn't even pass muster for '60s b-sides, let alone start any sort of musical renaissance. The instrumentation is psychedelic cuteness in the worst way, the lead singer can't sing worth a nickel (and seems to hit the same darn note in just about every song), and the band can't write catchy melodies to save their lives either. This band also takes "tweeness" farther than any band I've heard since The Three O'Clock -- and I thought the lead guy in THAT band sounded like a little girl.This is one elf-powered offering you can do without, take my word for it. Check out the Olivia Tremor Control, Green Pajamas, Lilys, or even the Essex Green.
