ELE_ K*
Sinistresound
· Twelve songs of pure agony

Yikes! ELE_K* must have the bucks because she sure doesn’t have the talent.

Instead of buying the album, put a tone-deaf singer in front of semi-talented music makers and surge your own pulse-raising ear-bleeding noises through the speakers.

It’s tiring listening to this girl try to push faint attempts at sound with weak abdominals – her singing voice sounds so forced that even my throat hurts.

If you want to break it down to its simplest terms, Ele_K* is indie- girl-folk with a splash of wonderment that leads nowhere. If it weren’t for brief pauses between the tracks, there would be no way of telling one song from the next.

Maybe the best place to play this disc is on the phone for people you wish didn’t have the patience to hold. Or elevators. Then again maybe not – the stairwells might be too crowded.
