elaine k releases Latest Album: bare bones Record Label: small space records
The road to this release was a long one with many twists and turns, many that simply felt like dead ends. The road itself became quite the journey and fittingly, that journey somehow transformed itself and can now be heard on the album itself. It made it, and we promise you - it was well worth the wait. It's raw, sincere, smart, fresh, funny, tortured and insightful - and that's before you hear a single note! This album was basically a result of artist battery by the fans! elaine k was brow beaten into giving the fans some new material to wear out their cd players with. The material contained on as is displays a fantastic range of influences and musical abilities. This album will take you easily from the distorted electric guitar driven rock opener of Not About You all the way to the delicate Deserve You where elaine's vocals are accompanied only by sparse guitar and cello, all in seemlingly unoticeable.... This album was recorded in several different studios in Ireland over a period of about nine months in the late 20th century (yes, we could draw interesting nine month time parallels, but we might get fired over them). The reason for using different studios was simply not to be tied to one feel or sound as so regularly happens in contemporary music today. The musicians featured were the elaine k band as it was in Ireland. The songs are really what will make you shut up.....
