The track is a wonderful showcase of the winding and atmospheric nature of their sound.
On the winding and powerful single ‘Strong (You Are Not Alone)’, Elk City continue to showcase the quietly rousing and empowering nature of their slow-burning art-rock sound, bringing in an array of sonic textures and quirks to craft a sound that feels wholly unique and thoughtful throughout.
The track is packed full of intricate moments and ideas, feeling both alluring and unsettling in equal measure as it wades through a narrative of cult obsessiveness and alternative lifestyles. The outfit’s brand of neo-psychedelic folk lends itself to these kinds of themes personally, building an atmospheric and immersive soundscapes that is packed full of wonder and charm. Elk City are an outfit that do things their own way, and as a result have a sound and style that feels quite unlike anything else, if you like your music to build slowly and gradually unravel and flow before your eyes, then ‘Strong (You Are Not Alone)’ is the perfect new single to find yourself lost within.
