Search - Elope :: No Name Record

"Mashing together such titanic influences as Neil Young, Badfinger, and (gulp) the Beatles is hardly novel, even from a Swedish stoner rock band. Still, I keep dialing up this mellow, mesmerizing album...and digging it hard every single time." (Kurt Wolf - San Francisco Bay Guardian) Swedish trio Elope offers eleven tracks of late-60s, early-70s classic rock escapism. Thrill to the compelling sweetness of vocalist and guitarist Sebastian Aronsson's wandering voice and breathtaking guitar gymnastics, bassist Tomas Eriksson?s frilly runs and dreamy harmonies, while drummer Anders Persson gets all Ginger Baker with it, waaay back in the pocket. Swedes adore their Neil Young so naturally there's a cover of Young's "Bad Fog of Loneliness", lovingly rendered, as are all the band's originals. 11 enchanting rock songs.
