Elf Power is an American indie rock band hailing from Athens, Georgia. The current line-up includes guitarist/vocalist Andrew Rieger, keyboardist Laura Carter, guitarist Dave Wrathgabar, bassist Matthew Garrison, and drummer Peter Alvanos. They are proud members of the Elephant Six Collective.
Influenced by a range of genres, Elf Power has carved out their own unique sound within the indie rock scene. Their music captures a sense of nostalgia while incorporating elements of folk, psychedelia, and pop.
With a discography spanning over two decades, Elf Power has released numerous critically acclaimed albums. Their distinct songwriting style and captivating live performances have earned them a dedicated fan base worldwide. Fans of bands like The Minders, The Olivia Tremor Control, and Dressy Bessy will find themselves drawn to the enchanting melodies and introspective lyrics that define Elf Power's music.

The Athens, Georgia pioneers have readied their tenth studio album for release - a self-titled, dozen-song sonic totem, representing the group's spiritual endurance and their continued relevance as the flagship band of the celebrated psych-rock scene which they helped forge over a decade and a half ago. The new record conveys a unique synthesis of expansion and space, as deft rhythmic interplay, thoughtful instrumental flourishes, and subtle hands at the mixing-board frame all contribute to the Elves' lithe, powerful folk-rock, and the frank, beautiful lyrical exposition that's come to be expected from head songwriter Andrew Rieger.

The new record is dedicated to the memory of dear friend, mentor, and close collaborator Vic Chesnutt, who committed suicide in late 2009. Chesnutt was long a guiding light in the close-knit Athens community. The Elves recorded a collaborative album, DARK DEVELOPMENTS, with Chesnutt in 2008 and toured extensively with him through the years. Elf Power's latest album found shape in the vacuum caused by Vic's loss, and finds the band exploring the void created by his departure.
