XLR8R (review)
|
Every musical note seems as carefully placed as a comma in a novel, and Maravelias' voice soars through a collection of intelligent lyrics mostly centered on lost love. Breakups are cruel, but damned if I don't want to have another one just so I can go home and put this album on repeat...

Losing Today (review)

"Trying Got Us Nowhere" has the unerring feel of being one of the understated finds of the year... Losing Today |

Textura (review)
|
"Let Down" scatters enough melodic hooks and tasty vocal counterpoint across its axe-generated squall to justify its status as a single... Textura |

The Blue Walrus (review)
|
If "Trying Got Us Nowhere" were a painting, it would depict a richly-coloured Caribbean sunset over a beach of dancing tribal men – it’s beautiful, spiritual and utterly unforgettable... The Blue Walrus |

Cyclic Defrost (review)
|
What most intrigues me about them is the balance they strike between noisy or glitchy experimentalism and straight up pop... Cyclic Defrost Magazine |

Babble and Beat (review)
|
"The Whip" is insanely catchy and has a great beat. It's a seductive track that builds, and one that is surely to be embedded in my head for several weeks... Babble and Beat |

Sey Something (review)
|
Elika is a Indie/Electronica duo from Brooklyn ready to score your film. I can picture each one of their tracks being used during a movie. Start with the intro going on a roller coaster of emotion right into a mellow ending. It's probably the one of the most solid albums this year... Sey Something |

Leonard's Lair (review)
|
"Trying Got Us Nowhere" is a clever mixture of New Order-style basslines, often energetic electro/indie pop and strident female vocals... Leonard's Lair |

Subdrive (review)
|
Evagelia's wonderfully lush vocals and the minimal soundscape with crunching guitars is a great sound to just listen and let your mind flow to... Subdrive |

Here Comes The Flood (review)
|
The vocals rest on a soft bed made of electronics, a pretty nifty mix of live drums and programming with a quilt of jangling guitars. Listen to this with a lounging cat on your lap. You might end up doing a little purring yourself... Here Comes The Flood |

Culture of Me (review)
|
Spacey electronics, straight-ahead guitar rock and lovelorn female-fronted 80s synth-pop into a wonderful sound that's at once sugary sweet and get-out-of-my-head addictive... Culture of Me |

Culture Spill (review)

This is no retro band; Elika’s vision is far more independent than derivative... Culture Spill |
