Perhaps best described as indie-folk rock, Elk Attack draws upon classic rock, folk, 60s pop, and gospel influences when crafting their compositions.  Acoustic and electric instruments, layered vocal harmony, psychedelic sounds, and big drums are all sounds you are going to enjoy in this recording.

Diamonds In Frozen Air

On Athens

Just took some words from John Whittaker Watson's Poem "Beautiful Snow" and sang 'em on a cold Wyoming night by the fire. 

Here's what I used: (MXL 2001 Condenser Mic, Two-Channel Focusrite, Garageband, my Honer Special 20 Marine Band Harmonica, & my '58 Gibson Acoustic)

Beautiful Snow

Hear what happens at my living room coffee table right through your speakers! I've been pairing old poems and chord progressions lately. This is a quick one from today. 

Don't Quit

Just made this from scratch and recorded it. Took me roughly four hours at my coffee table in my living room. I used my Gretsch Electromatic Guitar, an MXL 2001 Condenser Mic, 2-Input Focusrite, Garageband, Tony Chachere's Shaker, a Casio SA-8, & my vocal chords. Enjoy!

On the Mountainside

Just made this at my coffee table in my living room. I used my Gretsch Electromatic, my 1979 Martin D-28, an MXL 2001 Condenser Mic, 2-Input Focusrite, Garageband, Tony Chachere's Shaker, a Casio SA-8, & my vocal chords. Enjoy!

Emergency Ballad

Just made this today 12-3-14. Paired Edgar Albert Guest's Poem "It Couldn't Be Done" to some music I made.  Took me roughly four hours at my coffee table in my living room. I used Alex Howell's custom 80s Rickenbacker, my 1979 Martin D-28, my Gretsch Electromatic, an MXL 2001 Condenser Mic, 2-Input Focusrite, Garageband, Tony Chachere's Shaker, an LP Tamborine, a Casio SA-8, & my vocal chords. Enjoy!

Lyrics by: SYDNEY KING RUSSELL

"MIDSUMMER" 
You loved me for a little, 
You couldn't love me for long; 
You gave me wings of gladness 
And lent my spirit song. 
You loved me for an hour 
But only with your eyes; 
Your lips I could not capture 
By storm or by surprise. 
Your mouth that I remember 
With a rush of sudden pain 
as one remembers starlight 
Or roses after rain. . . 
Out of a world of laughter 
Suddenly I'm sad. . . 
Day and night it haunts me, 
The kiss I never had. 



Canyon Kids - Midsummer

My quick take on the classic. Done in about 3 hours on my living room coffee table; my voice, a Gretsch Electromatic, Gretsch New Yorker Mandolin, Roland VR-09, Harmonica, Tamborine, & a Shaker.
