The New Highway Hymnal
Genre: Experimental / Psychedelic / Surf
Mount Peru
To hell with geography.
Mount Peru, the band that Bostonbandcrush.com cites as “pioneers of Cosmic Americana”, mix extraterrestrial elements to forge torch songs from Mars, dust bowl ballads from Jupiter, and powerpop from Pluto. For all of the familiar signifiers, it's clear after the first few notes that this earth is not their home. Their narcotic hymns reverberate through the atmosphere like signals sent through space hoping to make contact - a pirate transmission from a far away radio, on some other heartbroken planet just like this one.

Great Elk
Great Elk is a rock band based in Brooklyn, NY, like most other rock bands. They will not apologize for having named their band for a woodland creature except this once: Sorry.
Great Elk is Paul Basile, Patrick Hay, Bryan Trenis, Tommy Harron and Adam Christgau.
"Music for falling in love in snowy weather." – The Deli
Great Elk's music is both disturbing and comforting, like meeting someone for the first time and discovering they know everyone you've ever loved. Their sound is the result of years of collaboration between primary songwriter Paul Basile, a New York native, and guitarist Patrick Hay, a Virginia transplant. Basile's visceral, world-weary vocals and the lonesome wails of Hay's guitar coalesce into a sound that is sometimes soothing, sometimes clamorous, but always engaging.
