Elf Power has been one of the leaders in twee power pop since 1994. They came into being with the Elephant Six collective that produced Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal and Apples In Stereo. The group has changed a bit from those trippy, pyche sounds of the late 90’s. “Back to the Web” is a more mainstream folkie effort. The music has some great instrumentation and pleasant melodies and themes. Alot like the Essex Green, they mine this melodic folk indie groove. The song An “Old Familiar Scene” has a good beat and vibe and “Somewhere Down The River” begins to lean to the old styled Elf Power I remember. “All The World Is Waiting” is another worthy track that has a great sing-along quality. Unfortunately too much of this album is boring and most of the songs have very little or no key change. It’s all the same folky rythmn to Vocalist Andrew Reiger. Also gone is the DIY ethic and the slick production makes the album a bit bland. You can get this CD cheap at amazon.com, but it would be better to start with eariler albums at e-music. Oh well. Maybe next the album will be better.
