Bio

Hailing from the greater New York area, Elf Project is the unique musical vision of multi-instrumentalist Carl Schultz (vocals, bass, keyboards, guitars, electric sitar, theremin, production).  Blending a variety of influences into a cohesive whole, the Elf Project sound is hard to pin down within narrow genre specifications.  Taking equal parts classic 70′s era progressive rock and infusing it with a strong dose of 60′s era psychedelia and hard rock, Schultz and a variety of collaborators, including Mike Cappadozy (guitars), Israel Stark (guitars), and Mike Mumblo (drums) successfully merge these various elements into an infectious vibe that never sounds dated.

Layers of melodic vocal harmonies sit airily atop a foundation of driving and propulsive rhythms while snaky guitar riffs and lush keyboard washes percolate throughout the mix.  The music is full of unexpected twists and turns; from bright, hook-laden vocal-oriented pop stylings to complex proggy instrumentals or the sudden introduction of middle eastern motifs or classical guitar.  Elf Project is a band not to be missed!
