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).
