Spirits and the Melchizedek Children

Bio:

Forged in late summer nights surrounding a dying bonfire at Camp 1538, Spirits and the Melchizedek Children began as lead singer Jason Elliott’s acoustic ramblings. His opened-ended lullabies and ballads developed in equal measures of melody, psychedelic meanderings, and eulogies to times past. After several months of recording solo, Elliott’s personal lullabies were fortified with the addition of band mates Chris Case, Darrin Harrison, Joe O’Neil, and Craig Henderson. The newly formed band gave Elliott’s songs an unprecedented depth and intangible appeal. Spirits and the Melchizdek Children have been praised by Atlanta-based music critic Chad Radford as “[creating] a sparse, ghostly, art-folk din that moves from a 4 a.m. whisper of distant, lonely strumming and moaning to a roar of tape hiss.” Evolving from crackling static into sonorous melody and back again, Spirits has melodic sensibility gently woven into the chaotic fabric of their haunting arrangements. Unapologetically unexpected and comfortingly familiar, Spirits and the Melchizedek Children’s ambient appeal provides the soundtrack to lost summers, new loves, and the hopeful yearning of beginning again. jredesign V4.4..Myspace Layouts ..
