Elf Power - Creatures (2002)

One of the stranger bands in the already odd Elephant 6 collective, Athens,
Georgia’s Elf Power shows what happens when a bunch of post-Pavement DIY
indie rockers come across a cache of old Gentle Giant and Renaissance
albums. Co- leaders Andrew Rieger and Laura Carter show an ever- increasing
ability to write catchy and compelling pop songs, but their early albums
are so swamped in lo-fi noise and the later ones are so burdened with
increasingly grandiose conceptual song cycles that finding the gems cansometimes be a trial.
