This breezy slice of pastel pop, which asks heavy questions, previews the band’s seventh album ‘Undertow’.-via Magic Door Records(Due September 22nd) This follows the lead track ‘Strong (You’re Not Alone)’, a swirling neo-psychedelic folk song baked in cult obsessiveness.

Founded by RENEE LOBUE and RAY KETCHEM, Elk City is rounded out by Luna’s SEAN EDEN, RICHARD BALUYUT (Versus) and CHRIS ROBERTSON (Psychedelic Furs side project Feed, Punch Havana).

Ketchem explains, “’Tried to Move On’ finds the band following our pop tendencies. Close and intimate during the verses and chorus, the song opens up in the middle with a triumphant instrumental section.”

There is something very appealing about Elk City , “Tried To Move On“ is not only a song but an enjoyable musical experience.
