Elephant Six vets Elf Power have signed to Yep Roc Records and released their first new song in five years, "The Gas Inside the Tank." It finds their unique psychedelic pop/indie rock fusion sounding as great as ever, and here's what vocalist/guitarist Andrew Rieger says about it:
"The Gas Inside the Tank" lyrically touches on seemingly separate but interrelated themes such as reincarnation, evolution, digital information overload, and an imagined post-apocalyptic future world of deserted cities in which inhabitants resort to siphoning gas from abandoned vehicles. This was the first song written for an album we’ll be releasing later this year. It mixes organic and artificial elements together, with drums and drum machine mixed together, and slide guitar and organ alongside gurgling moog keyboards and synth bass.
