Made Loud — Indie Underground Bands, Music, Downloads, Community

Chesnutt and Elf Power both represent generationally important movements in the Athens, Georgia musical spectrum; Chesnutt, who has been produced by REM's Michael Stipe, is part of that eighties and early nineties continuum of musicians that also includes The B-52s and Love Tractor, while Elf Power owes its allegiance to the psychedelic upswing represented by the Elephant Six Collective - of which they were a part in the latter half of the last decade. Together, though, the two artists have created what the press release refers to as a "batch of songs with a sinister vibe not dissimilar to John Cale's black classic Fear, the harsh & articulate sleaze of Lou Reed's Street Hassle, or the defeated low-key soul music of Nick Lowe's last few records."
