‘Emily’ by Absent Elk
Digitally available March 7th 2010.
“Emily shows off the band’s penchant for slick guitars, soaring choruses and neat backing vocals. The track comes complete with a dynamic change of pace two-thirds of the way in, illustrative of the twists and turns Absent Elk enjoy throwing the listener’s way during their best moments.” - Shout4Music
‘Emily’ video shot on location in Oslo, Norway in summer 2009, featuring Norwegian film and drama students and edited by Absent Elk.

DEBUT ALBUM ‘SWITCH’ OUT NOW (AMAZCD21)
Special DigiPak CD Album available for only £6.95
from Amazon Records Paypal
Please select your Location and Price:
‘Switch’ is the group’s debut CD and presents material drawn from recent visits into the recording studio. On each occasion, a 1 hour set was recorded entirely live and in its entirety. Each session used the same recording studio and engineer - no pre-planning, no rehearsals, no overdubbing or additional takes. Whilst the 6 tracks were recorded on separate occasions, they have been assembled as a programme of music and proposed as a continuing listening experience.
“Refreshingly free of cliché, proudly non-idiomatic and actually kind of fun. There’s a certain noir-ish feel to much of it: languid, bluesy electric guitar loops embellished with moody tenor huffs and strange, scraped percussion. Tim Rancelant’s spontaneous spoken commentary adds an extra layer of mystery – ambiguous phrases repeated enough to acquire odd significance and delivered in a tobacco-weary baritone, coming across like backstreet aphorisms from the mind of a racetrack mystic. Throw in some gloriously non-virtuoso free-jazz piano and kung-fu vocals, and you’ve got yourself a fine enigma.” - Daniel Spicer – Jazzwise Magazine
‘Change My World’ (CDAMAZ27)
A Spine Tingling Love Song - Out Now.
Available digitally from iTunes | HMV
“The first golden apple from the “debut album” tree of English-Norwegian indie-poppers Absent Elk falls with the title “Change My World” engraved upon its ever-shiny and juicy surface… a wistful dream of searing melodies and thoughtful progressions, conjuring images of summer meadows, long sunlit evenings, and bloomed orchards to great success” - Rock On Webzine
“Serene, gentle and composed, ‘Change My World’ adds credibility and variety to a band sporting a largely indie-pop sound. Unashamedly, as a result of listening to Absent Elk I am happy to say I have some faith in good pop again. If you really wanted to you could describe Absent Elk as Scandinavian folk driven gentle indie, but that’s stupid, it’s guitar pop, and that’s nothing to be put off by. Well done Absent Elk, and thank you for bringing back some pop hope to the ‘scene’ generations” - NSR Radio (Newcastle)
Phil & Olly (P&O) the very talented directors of the 12 Stone Toddler videos ‘Under the Weather’, ‘Candles On The Cake’, ‘The Rabbit’ & ‘Angry Teddy Bear’…
have just teamed up with the man of the hour, Robbie Williams, and directed his brilliant new video ‘You Know Me’. Great stuff guys!
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’alls neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down!…

Absent Elk - ‘Caught In The Headlights’
“A great debut album with some great tunes …perfectly accomplished…with hints of the stadium pop of Coldplay, the huge U2 sound, the fun of the
Hoosiers and the indie-pop sensibilities of the Kooks. It’s definitely a strong
debut album that could be a good stepping stone to bigger things.” -

“This debut is a fabulous mix of indie folk meets pop, full of quirky musical
twists that make it well worth a listen!” - 4/5 Mizz magazine
