Biography
Elstow started turning heads in 2012 when they played Sydney’s Peats Ridge Festival on the back of a few rough demos. Completely unknown in the Sydney music scene, Jared Shaw and Chel Browne borrowed the name of the building they lived in and quickly expanded to five members. Their sound encompasses the psychedelic folk and pop of the sixties and seventies, coupled with an alternative nineties neo-psychedelic flavour.
In 2014 the band released their debut EP As The Sun Falls, a five track of dreamy psychedelic landscapes infused with a moody folk sensibility. Described by bloggers as “music to lose yourself to,” and “a psychedelic romance,” Elstow have been winning over unsuspecting hearts one mind-bending show at a time.
In the late months of 2014, the band went back into the studio to record their next single, ‘Evil Dreams.’ Despite the sinister sounding name, and a truly weird accompanying video, the new song is described by Shaw as “a little more upbeat than the EP,” and has received positive reviews.
"The title is a bit deceiving as this track is gentle, dreamy, and full of delay... Plus it's loaded with tambourines, and everyone loves a good, crisp tambourine" - FlinkTO
"It’s hypnotic, and dreamy-psychedelic-pop that brings to mind the sound of Mazzy Star." - Something For All Of Us
"Evil Dreams immediately lulls you into a trance, a musically-induced dream-like state, think Smashing Pumpkins on hallucinogenics and you’re almost there." - TOXIC ONLINE
