The ever impressive list of talented young rock bands continues to grow, this time with a debut ep from indie rockers Elasea.
The Berkshire based 4 piece have recently decided to ditch their covers band image and release their writing talents on to the world. With an obsessive combination of melodic riffs and soaring vocal harmonies, Elasea stand out as a clear talent.
Favourable comparison to Twin Atlantic and Lower Than Atlantis is a justified compliment to the strength in depth of their mature writing skills. Title track Where I Belong is a grand rocker eminently likeable, instantly catchy and memorable.
As you would expect from the song titles it’s an album dedicated to the pain and angst of love in the modern age. It’s poetic, well delivered and very pleasing of the ear. More considered rock rather than Nu Metal, which is a pleasant surprise from a new band.
Definitely one for the collection, watch out for Glass Heart which is no slow burner and, as the stand out track for me, warrants being a future single.
