"Madison, Wisconsin’s Jerkwave Tapes, the label that has churned out
hometown psychedelic hero Dead Luke and the shredding guitar-over-tinny- boombox-backbeat stylings of the Pink Reason has a couple more one-man shows worthy of your attention.
First, there’s Teepee, a Floridian whose swirling guitar riffs and crooning, fuzz-enveloped vocals make for catchy, introspective numbers. Then there’s the Elks, whose work is probably not affiliated with the stuffy Illinois-based fraternal organization of the same name. His one-to- two-minute morsels of magnificent disarray push the avant-garde envelope, with overwhelming percussive elements and echoed, barely discernible vocals coming off like an amalgamation of slam poetry reading, guitar tuning session, and midnight drum circle gone horribly right."
