Elevator Suite (Bristol,
England)_
Formed
in 1999, Elevator Suite
were quickly signed to the Mushroom
Infectious roster that also featured Muse,
Ash and Garbage.
The band received one of the biggest independent record
deals of that year, as well as garnering the prerequisite
column inches of fawning press hype and an army of eager
listeners who responded rapturously to their blissfully
retro, easy-listening sonic sensibilities.
Their first two singles were both crowned as Radio
1’s ‘Record
of the Week’, and a fraught European tour
during which they played support for chill-out stalwarts
Morcheeba followed.
Now, after five years of “heartache,
soul-searching, and recrimination,” the
band return with their self-titled sophomore album,
a panoramic, sixties-infused collection of stoned-immaculate
harmonies, ethereal keyboard sighs, and sunset-flecked
funk rhythms that draws upon the initial promise that
created such a stir back in ‘99 and elevates it
to a higher plane.
‘Elevator Suite’
was recorded against a backdrop of fistfights
and reaffirmed friendships at various Bristol locales.
On tracks such as the acoustic bong-hit strut of ‘How
Does It Feel’ and the beat-laden psychedelia
of forthcoming single ‘The
Wheel’, the band work up an intoxicating
wall of sound that boasts all the head-spinning potency
of a melodic narcotic.
Elevator Suite are Robbo
(vocals), Dan Brown
(bass – formerly of Bristol ‘chill-out’
pioneers Ilya), Andy
(vocals/tambourines/producer/arranger), Dan
Moore (keyboards – has played with Cousteau,
Fred Wesley, and Roni Size), and Jock
(drums – an illustrator for DC Comics, his publication
‘The Losers’ is currently being developed
into a Hollywood blockbuster with Jack Nicholson).
