About elk city

NEW BELIEVERS - IN STORES NOW!

"Elk City’s cool and elegant sound draws on 1980s “dream pop” and bits of 1960s folk-rock."
- The New York Times

"...they sound better than ever."
- All Music Guide

"...adventurous, postpunkadelic arrangements...an irresistible power-pop vibe."
- HARP

"Renee LoBue sounds like a hundred different singers without ever failing to sound like herself."
- emusic

"Elk City’s intent in bringing some raw emotion and soul into post-punk is commendable and gutsy."
- Amplifier

"Elk City is one of NYC's best kept secrets; they'll appeal to fans of the Clientele, Camera Obscura and, seriously, Fleetwood Mac."
- L Magazine

"Renée LoBue's voice is astounding - she has incredible range and sounds like a female Bowie engaged in a three-way with Hope Sandoval and Patti Smith. "
- The Village Voice

"...LoBue's bottomless supply of heart leads the band into new worlds where indie pop and soul effortlessly overlap."
- Aversion

""Totally Free" is...one of the best times you'll have listening to a song so far this year."
- the Tripwire

"LoBue is a firebrand - soft and gentle one minute, raising the hairs on your neck the next."
- PopMatters

"Elk City simply excel in making beautiful pop songs that are as interesting as they are unassuming. "
- Magnet

"The new album from the new Elk City builds on the band's past successes with impressive, unpretentious musical eclecticism. Surprising lyrics reveal a humane, contagiously optimistic heart."
- Gordon Cox (Variety)
