Lo-fi meets high concept in Elf Power's first nationally released full-length album; a send -up of Tolkien-damaged, Canterbury concept albums, with liner notes that barely let the band off the hook and great vintage fantasy art on the insert. But don't dust off the Dungeons and Dragons yet, because the music is more like a drunken wedding of Guided By Voices and The Flaming Lips. The album includes contributions from members of Neutral Milk Hotel and Olivia Tremor Control, delightful touches of tape loops and shawm, and a whole-hearted, full-throttle cover of Brian Eno's "Needles In The Camel's Eye," whose lyrics amusingly fit right in with the record's concept. These are off-key nursery rhymes that will leave you with a giddy, day-glo hallucinogenic smile.
