February 22, 2022 - Today, Elf Power is happy to announce that wey have signed with Yep Roc Records. To celebrate the partnership, we are releasing “The Gas Inside The Tank,” our first single release since 2017’s full length album Twitching in Time. Listen to The Gas Inside The Tank via YouTube. “The Gas Inside the Tank" lyrically touches on seemingly separate but interrelated themes such as reincarnation, evolution, digital information overload, and an imagined post-apocalyptic future world of deserted cities in which inhabitants resort to siphoning gas from abandoned vehicles. This was the first song written for an album we’ll be releasing later this year. It mixes organic and artificial elements together, with drums and drum machine mixed together, and slide guitar and organ alongside gurgling moog keyboards and synth bass. We are very excited to be working with Yep Roc! So many of our friends and collaborators like Robyn Hitchcock, The Apples in Stereo, The Minus 5, and the No Ones have worked with the label, so we're looking forward to joining the Yep Roc roster. Yep Roc’s Co-General Manager Mariah Czap says “For the past 28 years, Elf Power has been such an important influence in the indie music community. Our team has known Andrew and the band since around 2004. We're excited to officially add them to our label family!” January 2, 2021 - We are very sad to say goodbye to our friend and bandmate Aaron Wegelin. Aaron toured the world with Elf Power and played on 5 of our early albums from 1996-2004. He later moved to Los Angeles and was a chef for many years. He was a master chef, specializing in Asian cuisine, and cooked some of the most delicious meals I’ve ever eaten. He recently had moved back to Athens and we had the chance to collaborate musically one last time to finish a long abandoned song that we started recording in 1997, with all of the bandmembers from that era adding overdubs and finishing the song. We'll be using it as a bonus track for an upcoming vinyl reissue of one of our old albums. It was really nice to be able to reconnect musically again. Aaron’s drumming on the records and live was tasteful and nuanced; he knew when to hold back and tap along lightly and when to ferociously beat the shit out of the drums, often in the same song! I’ll miss his giggly laugh when he would get excited, his delicious meals, and his generous and kind spirit. We love you and miss you old friend. January 29, 2020 - We're hard at work writing and recording new music for a new album, and playing some regional shows as well.

December 25, 2009 - Vic Chesnutt (1964-2009) Vic's Obituary in the New York Times I became a fan of Vic's music when I was still in high school in the late 1980s, so when we became friends and decided to collaborate on an album together I was thrilled. Vic wanted a spontaneous reaction on our part to his songs, so he would play us a song, we'd run through it a few times, record it and move on. I would ask him if I could take home demos of the songs to practice and come up with parts, but he wouldn't allow it. Following the album's release in the fall of 2008, we toured all over America and Europe and had some amazing adventures. I saw Vic talk his way out of getting arrested for shoplifting in a gift shop in Madrid; I watched him sing karaoke to Randy Newman's "Short People" in a hotel bar at an Econolodge in Lawrence, KS to the hoots and hollers of several drunken yokels; we watched sea lions cavorting and howling in an underground sea cave in California; we played with John Cale, who we both love, at a festival in Holland; and we played Carnegie Hall together earlier this year. Vic was notorious for making up really nasty, sexually obscene songs at soundchecks to lighten the mood. I thought he'd hold back at Carnegie Hall, but he came through with a particularly profane spontaneous ditty that night, much to our delight. I miss him so much and I'm so glad we had a chance to create music together and travel the world together. You are the greatest songwriter and singer to ever come out of Athens and it was an honor to play with you. I love these lyrics of Vic's about water (this is from memory so it may be a little off): The same water that the dinosaurs drank is the same water that the Persian fleets sank in the same water that moistened the primordial ooze is now hammering on my metal porch roof -Andrew You set my standard for cool And through amazing conversations You’ve made me work to be smart and dynamic. In the best ways. You are the funniest motherfucker I’ve ever known. Except for Curtiss. Y’all are tied. But that’s the top and anyway you brought us together. You brought so many people together. I’ll always be grateful and keep you strong in my heart. You are the coolest. I love you. -Laura The thing I miss most about Vic, more than the magic of playing his songs, is the conversations. Like me, he was an atheist raised in the backwoods, a distinctly irreverent breed. His perspective meant a great deal to me, and I was deeply fascinated by his stories of artistic self-discovery in the midst of that upbringing. On tour, I stayed up later and allowed myself to get drunker than usual every night just to talk and listen. He was my new friend and hero. Laughing and worrying about the extremes of political belief and delusion, the evil brilliance of Dick Cheney, constant critical analysis of shitty music and great music, The Beatles, endless recommendations of favorite literature, recounting scattered personal histories and formative Athens experiences and, hell yeah, jokes and jokes and jokes, on and on and on. They're conversations I'm still having. -Derek Vic could fly. I’ve seen him do it. Anytime there was a set of stairs or a stage we had to lift him up onto, while we would hoist him, he would stick his elbows out and flap away as he elevated. This always made me smile. It made him smile, too. If we had to carry him in public, he also thought it was funny to look at us and say, “Who are you people? Where are you taking me? Help!” I feel fortunate to have spent so many happy days with Vic. I think it was his sense of humor, so much like my own, that made us click and become such quick friends. He was an intelligent man who could hold his own in a conversation about anything with anyone, but he also had a fondness for crude humor and wasn’t afraid to chuckle at childish nonsense. Over the past couple of years, we shared several months of amazing adventures, the kind of days that seem like dreams. We walked together at night along the beach in Oregon. We traversed the Swiss Alps in the middle of winter. We jammed karaoke at a hotel bar. We feasted like kings. We played music together in some of the best venues in the world. Vic always managed to surprise me, too. One late night, I ran into him randomly in Athens and asked him if he wanted to go to the Secret Squirrel with me, and though I didn’t really expect him to say yes, he did. Another time in Ravenna, Italy, Eric and I were walking around the town in the early morning, assuming that Vic was still asleep, and then we suddenly see Vic being pushed around by a fan from the night before. Apparently this fan had offered to take him on a tour of the city and Vic got up early and took him up on the offer. I will always remember Vic as a sweetheart who was funny and witty and passionate. It constantly impressed me and inspired me to watch him rock a guitar. I feel grateful that I got to hang with Vic in his element. Only he could trust me enough as a guitarist to demand a guitar solo out of me unannounced in the middle of a live set. “Give us a nasty one, Jimmy!” he would say. And I wouldn’t even question it. He kept calling for it night after night, even if the solo was bad the night before. And I have never seen anyone capture a crowd, whether with humor or drama, like he could. Downtime in a set was his plaything. A heckler was his plaything. Sometimes, when we brought him onstage, the house music would go down and there would be 5–10 long minutes of awkward silence because Vic still needed to plug in and get situated. We would offer to communicate to the soundman to put the music back up, but Vic would say no, and embraced the awkwardness, addressing the audience with humor. He’d say, “Where’s the muse-gik” meaning “music” but saying it in a funny childlike accent. Then he’d talk and joke with the audience while he tuned and got comfortable. By the time he played the first note, he had already warmed up the crowd. He was a poet and a self-proclaimed diva, a great entertainer and a loving friend. I love you, Vic. I hope that I was able to give you enough laughs and good times to amount to even a fraction of those that you gave me. -Jimmy December 9, 2009 Hope you enjoy these videos that Jimmy made from our 2009 European tour with Vic Chesnutt: Elf Power Video Page... We start to record our new album in January, and hope to have it out later in 2010...we also recorded a very slow and strange version of the Apples in Stereo's song "Strawberry Fire", to be released as a free single with the new Apples record when it comes out next year...more info on that later. September 3, 2009 - Orange Twin Land Show with Neil Hamburger! Orange Twin and Elf Power are excited to announce our Fall Festival!
