Details:
After taking most of 2010 off to write the follow-up to 2009''s "Don''t Be Discouraged, Little Sparrow" LP, Seattle''s Elba return with the 5 song "Diplodocus" EP.
Recorded with engineer Graig Markel (Head Like A Kite, Transmissionary Six, Tiny Vipers), "Diplodocus" finds Elba further establishing their ability to fuse catchy, three minute pop songs with surprising dynamics and unconventional song structures. A bit more stripped down than previous recordings, this EP tries to capture Elba as they sound in a live setting. Adding depth to the songs are backup vocals from Daniel G Harmann (Daniel G Harmann and the Trouble Starts) as well as vocals and cello from Graig Markel (The Animals at Night).
Since releasing debut LP "An Avalanche" in 2008, Elba has established themselves as a Seattle band to watch. The debut received rotation airplay on KEXP 90.3, Demo of the Week on 107.7 The End''s Local''s Only, and gained the attention of The Stranger. The follow up, "Don''t Be Discouraged, Little Sparrow" also received rotation airplay on KEXP as well as multiple college radio stations down the west coast.
So far, the lead off title track from "Diplodocus" has been played on 107.7 The End''s Locals Only and is featured on a compilation from Portland, OR label Tender Loving Empire titled "Friends and Friends of Friends Vol.3".
Recording for the next Elba full length begins in November of 2010 with engineer Graig Markel at Seattle''s Recovery Room.
