“Laying down a sultry and dreamy guitar solo right out
of the gate, the song is a quiet and meditative morsel of indie pop,” says Glide Magazinein
its premiere coverage of the video for Elroy’s
“Excite Me Much” single. Elroy adds, “(Director) Jon Baxter was kind enough to let me
commandeer some lasers he had, some smoke, and his cameras and eye.” Pancakes and Whiskeyadds,
“The video is as atmospheric as the song. The two work together perfectly. Refreshing,
chilled out, and leaves you wanting more.” [VIDEO]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHjrkhAPLO0 [STREAM]: https://Fanatic.lnk.to/Elroy-ExciteMeMuch [LIVE]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obpddhqKL6w +++
Elroy | About After years of touring
and collaborating as a drummer and multi-instrumentalist in various groups (Wild Nothing, Connan Mockasin), as well as with his family (extensive worldwide
touring with his brother, Liam Finn
and as part of Crowded House with
his father, Neil Finn), Elroy Finn (going simply by Elroy) will release his debut
self-titled album on Aug. 13th,
2021. A talented multi-instrumentalist – “I was obviously surrounded
by instruments a lot growing up thanks to my Dad, so I was very fortunate in
that way,” he says – Elroy was written, produced,
recorded, and mixed by Elroy
himself. A brief self-release of the record in his native New
Zealand earned attention right away for the hazy, coaxing sound that Elroy says he hopes will “evoke the
weightless feeling you get just before you fall asleep.” It does. New Zealand’s national newspaper Sunday Star Times describes the album as “acquiring layers of
sounds and textures and falsetto vocal harmonies” that “gradually transforms
into a sturdy wee slab of lo-fi psychedelia.” The paper goes on to highlight the upcoming single “Worth The Wait,” describing Elroy’s performance as “a tentative
romantic assessing a new relationship, his voice sweet and airy, like a
Brazilian bossa nova singer parachuted into the middle of an indie pop song.” Elroy says the tune is only a “non-specific, ambiguous love
song,” which feels like he is speaking from a place of humility that could only
be developed by growing up surrounded by legendary songwriting talent. The tune is actually a fine example of Elroy’s ability throughout the album to
hit that sweet spot where the songs are “gentle and catchy,” but “deceptively
difficult to write,” as noted in the Sunday
Star-Times. Similarly, New Zealand’s Listener Magazine, calling the record “bold and assured,”
recognizes Elroy’s modesty, saying
he “has done well to avoid the pitfalls of emulation or rebellion.” With this
record, he takes “the tropes of the catchy, melodic music he was raised around
and deliberately drapes them in a shimmering, beguiling gauze.” In regard to his lyrics, Elroy is equally humble. “As far as lyrics go, I tend not to over explain
meanings as I think it’s really important for people to mis-hear and interpret
them however they want,” he explains, adding slyly, “It’s also better, because
it means I don’t have to admit if the song isn’t really about anything.” Perhaps this notion is just Elroy’s humility shining through yet again, or maybe it is a
defining characteristic of the deceptive simplicity of his music. Elroy
arrives Aug. 13th, 2021
on the Grand Phony label, preceded
by the singles “Excite Me Much,”“Life Is At Home,” and “Worth The Wait.” Elroy is available
for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
