"I've Seen The Light"
offers up a trademark effulgence of exuberance. Loaded with electric guitar
& synthesizers , coupled with Vocal melodic counterpoint ; Elite pulls
off a Blondie without any pretension. 80's retro music coupled with driven
percussion that is danceable without continuously resorting to 4/4 time
signatures that plague other dance fare "Where Is My Love"
comes out of the gate with some analog synthesizers married to female
Vox & Keyboard specialist Elite's full spectrum tenor of sun-storm sonic
color. A Euro-House element comes into play on this cut , complimented
by Matt Gunn's Bass & Jake Price's guitar work 'Here I Am" brings
the tempo down some & the mood becomes more atmospheric & romantic. Elite
has a penchant for bewitching & mesmerizing vocals. Her Vox arrangements
& layering harmonics , contrast starkly with occasional monophonic counterpoint
synthesis flourishes from the Gunn-Elite repertoire of Keyboard chops
When Elite take a
pinwheel spinning approach in a song like "Here I Am" , one is effected
significantly on an oblique emotive level that is a touch like Portishead"
on anti-depressants ; A refreshingly audio-sonic experience with positive
inflection amidst perplexing life circumstances Elite are the type
of band that have the ability to progressively reach a musical metamorphosis
that is much bigger than the sum of its parts. There are no musical limits
or parameters that this band cannot traverse Elite have a unique
chemistry that contains the seeds of musical expansion & a limitless view
of the musical horizon that stands before them |
