Editorial Reviews
Firebrand Renée LoBue brings you on a free-wheeling make-out session after your worst break-up. Singer/songwriter LoBue and Ray Ketchem (drummer/producer) have teamed with influential ex-Luna guitarist Sean Eden and ex-Lovelies bassist Barbara Endes on New Believers, Elk City's finest work to date. In 2004, when recording for New Believers began, LoBue brought her notebook full of confessional, imaginative songs (written following the tumultuous departure of guitarist/vocalist Peter Langland-Hassan, the male half of the boy/girl duets that had marked the group's first three releases) to longtime collaborator Ray Ketchem's studio. Upon hearing LoBue's newly inspired voice, Ketchem's mission was clear: The band would recall the soul of Dusty Springfield, the power of Patti Smith, the big sound of Phil Spector, and the warped-pop sensibilities of The Breeders on an album that would bring LoBue to the front. Weaving Ketchem's ace production and LoBue's striking voice with the lyrical guitar of Eden and Endes' solid foundation, Elk City are never fearful of experimentation and push new boundaries on New Believers.

This band gets in your head!,

This review is from: New Believers (Dig) (Audio CD)
Every incarnation of this core pairing (Ray Ketchum and Renée LoBue now with Sean Eden and Barbara Endes) has had the same effect on me. The songs are following me around everywhere I go after just a couple of plays. Elk City's uncanny ability to mix infectious pop hooks with musically challenging arrangements produce a range of interesting tracks that grab you instantly and still challenge your expectations enough to give the tracks their timeless appeal. Beautifully haunting melodies from Renée and flawless musical craftsmanship by the band!
"New Believers" is a true work of art!
3.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: New Believers (Dig) (Audio CD)
I saw them live at a place in Brooklyn in Summer '07, and I regretfully didnt grab a cd from them while I was there. So, I searched for it on Amazon and found it. There's a few songs on here that are very enjoyable. I wanted to have it my possession as memory item from when I went to Brooklyn. That bar had indoor bocce ball!!
