Progressive psych rockers Elder have released a pair of new tracks, as well as a short film/music video directed by Malachi Cull to accompany them. While split into two halves, those songs, “Liminality” & “Dream State Return“, are written as a singular piece of music. Available now digitally through the group’s Bandcamp. A 12″ vinyl pressing on translucent coke-bottle green vinyl can be picked up via stickman-records.com, Armageddon Shop and Echodelick Records.
Speaking of the release on their social media today, September 22nd, the band offered:
“After a sort of creative sabbatical in most of 2024, the band reconvened in Berlin last winter to start work on a new album. In the process of that, we decided to dust off a project that had been sitting on the shelf for years. What started as a few scraps from the “Omens” / “Innate Passage” era turned into an 18-minute jam that surprised even us — a track with one foot in our past and one in our future. Feeling this track neither belonged to that older era nor was quite ready for the upcoming Album 7, we chose to record it there on the spot and give it its own space as a special release.
We also did something new: teamed up with our longtime friend @_speedwolf to make a video as sprawling and cinematic as the music itself. It’s essentially a mini-movie, and you can watch the full thing now on YouTube
And because we’re record nerds, we couldn’t just leave it digital. The EP is out now as a one-sided 12” with etching on the B side on translucent coke-bottle green vinyl via @stickmanrecords, with copies available in the US at @armageddonshop and @echodelickrecords. Artwork was once again handled by our amazing friend @adamhillstudio.
This one feels special to us — hope you’ll dig it too.”
