Description

Sub Pop has discovered another sweet gem. The Elected bring forth some particularly catchy post-country rock, that is folk music with studio effects, a keyboard, and the occasional drum machine, that rivals the like-minds in the Super Furry Animals at their own genre bending game and graciously exposes The Coral as the stale anachronism they are. Me First is no desperate grasp at mainstream uniqueness but truly heartfelt music, understated psychedelia on the acoustic side played to peak effectiveness thus making believe The Rapture went Tennessee instead of new wave. There are many influencesmore… at work here, which they do a great job of integrating and improving upon, but the one to focus on is Elliott Smith, whom they commemorate with the glory that is liner note mention. They don't quite reach his emotional depths but their own melodical sensibilities more than make up for a lack of tearjerkers. Posing for a border photo in NME next to a "he'll be missed" generic comment is one thing [Moby], but to actually understand and learn from such a great source is another. The world needs more Elected.
