10

Three sonic wanderers make up the band Battle Elf: guitarists Gretchen Gonzales & Chris Peters and drummer David Hurley. Their unified electric sound creates universes from ancient dust, telling tales of battles and redemption. Hailing from Detroit, a hub of industry and culture, each member of Battle Elf absorbed the sounds of the world as they grew. They draw from dark memories, pulling energy from CAN, Lee Ranaldo, Sun Ra, Fred Frith, Eddie Hazel, Cosmic Jokers and Ash Ra Tempel... channeling through Krautrock and deep psychedelia. Battle Elf defies the heavy jam, and their debut record is the first earthly gift of their musical journeys. 10 is a reckoning.
