notes

"A sort of Silverlake-style Sigur Ros, the L.A. duo makes experimental instrumental music that's both highly skilled and deeply felt... the duo's compositions take on an incredible musical and emotional complexity." - Spin

"West coast duo El Ten Eleven make instrumental rock that's not boring. I swear. On the moody, dexterous 'Lorge,' the combo fluctuates between dreary and driving with ease." Entertainment Weekly

"El Ten Eleven's dense, textured instrumentals recall post-rock standard-bearers like Tortoise or the Mercury Program, except theirs are created by only two musicians — and a whole lot of effects pedals." - LA Times

"Audiences are stunned and amazed that only two musicians can perfectly replicate the textures, nuances and fullness of their studio release." - Filter

  • Hip and Resplendent

    Both this album and their latest, Every Direction is North,offer a fresh atmosphere of tunes; it is an attention-getting awesome contemporary album. It is obvious a lot of consideration was brought to every track. This band deserves the same attention. Highly recommended.

  • Words Can't Describe It
    author: Tanner Greene

    After finally deciding I was fed up with mainstream mush, I searched for a new type of music to get into. I have to say, I couldn't have picked a better first CD. There are no filler tracks, just mind-blowing music on a disc. The way they layer sounds to create a whole cascade of music is awe-inspiring. This is what music is all about.

  • Holy Cow
    author: Mike Fisher

    I thought the album would be good after listening to the sample tracks, but not this good. The music absolutely blows me away. Listen to these 9 tracks for hours on end.

  • This is the sound
    author: Lint

    This is the sound of driving down the coast highway on a perfect spring day with the hills green and the warm-but-not-too-hot sun glistening white gold off the waves...the sound of loving a friend...the sound of fresh air and innocence and hope and a grin that won't leave my face...in short, this is the music I've been searching for for so long and never even knew it. Brilliant. I could die happy listening to this, now that I've found it.

  • Incredible Sound that is even more impressive LIVE!!!
    author: MusicFan LA

    The Cd is excellent, moody and sophisticated, complex yet easily listenable. Great in the car. But what floored me was that I saw them do a set at Spaceland in Los Angeles that was everything the CD was and more. Take a chance and buy it...you wont be disappointed!!!

  • I'm familiar w/Kristian Dunn's work&love this new venture..thanx w/luv

    With the crap that is over played on the main stream radio-lyrics included- this is a fresh view to a new world of emo-rock.

  • Intelligent music with an edge!
    author: MB DEVERS

    Put this on when you have time to listen. It will hold your attention from beginning to end. Hope we hear more from El Ten Eleven soon.
