about

Devotions opens with “You Are Right?,” a short work of spoken prose about identity, reflection, and impostors. Every single sound that follows over the next forty minutes is spun from that recording via sampling and manipulation, from the stormy percussion and vicious feedback of “Garth Brooks” to the beatific synth orchestration of “Air for Quantization.” The album is simultaneously intimate and expansive in its study of sound. Warped reflections of works by Brooks, Tchaikovsky, Joanna Newsom, Griffin McElroy, and more appear throughout, serving as MIDI “impostors” expounding Devotions’ narrative and themes. Across eleven restlessly diverse tracks, Elah demonstrates a playful exploratory spirit and a keen ear for sculpting sound.
