Premiere: Elke – ‘Without The I’

"In a magical place with my friends..."

Kayla Graninger has been travelling almost since the day she was born.

Her familiy moved from state to state, city to city, traversing the United States and soaking up music in every direction.

Using the name Elke – a play on Kayla, of course – she channels everything from Top 40 rock to doo-wop, underground punk to lush shoegaze.

New EP 'Bad Metaphors' was produced by Shawn Everett, and it features three tracks which kick back against past relationships, acknowledging failures while embracing the future.

'Without The I' has become Elke's calling card, a stirring, literate, and helplessly personal offering. Bérénice Eveno and Serban Ionescu direct the video, and we're delighted to host it before anyone else.

Elke explains…

“We filmed it at Rhys’ house upstate that his dad built and planted all the trees there in ‘69. It was an excuse to be in a magical place with my friends.”

Tune in now.
