Drew & Jesse took their guitar-based telepathy on the road just before the pandemic closed down the world. On their travels, they shared that telepathy not just with audiences but with a string of outstanding guests whom you'll hear woven seamlessly into the tapestry of Elkhorn's music. This is a magical release. Grip it today.
Favorite track: Oddfellows, Blacksburg VA, 3/8/20.

I love this track simply because I was there. All was calm before the pandemic, and this was a beautiful night. Elkhorn is amazing live. Can't wait to see them live again when things are "normal." Whatever normal is supposed to be. We all will rock again in the Southern Star.
Favorite track: Record Exchange, Philadelphia PA, 2/21/20.

Long-form trance-y rhythmic jams, with a fun shambling edge, sounding like a cross between music from Africa's Sahel region crossed with a Tom Waits instrumental... Jascha Narveson
