Geode is the full-length debut of
ELEL, an indie pop group led by singer and songwriter Ben Elkins that boasts a seven-piece official lineup for the record. It includes their stomp-along debut single, "40 Watt," a viral hit that earned the band an appearance in the 2016
Mike Birbiglia film Don't Think Twice. Incorporating world music influences and rumbling drums, the other 11 tracks are split between the equally spirited and more reflective, though all have a bounteous quality that should translate well to rooftop parties and festival stages. ~ Marcy Donelson
