Elf Project

Elf Project signs with 10T records for the release of their new CD, “Mirage.”  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 classic 70′s era progressive rock and infusing it with a strong dose of 60′s era psychedelia and hard rock, Schultz and company successfully merge these various elements into an infectious vibe that never sounds dated.

Layers of melodic vocal harmonies sit 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.

“We knew before the opening track of Mirage was through that Elf Project had something unique and different going on,” says 10T Records president, Steve Carroll.  “Not only does Elf Project fit the forward-thinking philosophy of 10T Records, they don’t sound like anyone else on the current progressive rock scene.  They are truly one of a kind and a band not to be missed!”

“Mirage” by Elf Project is available for immediate pre-order through the 10T Records website.  All orders received between now and the official release date will ship by the end of the week prior to the official release.
