Elika is a boy and a girl from Brooklyn who write and record
dreamy music with killer beats.
They combine blissed-out and narcotic ambience with head-
nodding beats that range from Downtempo to Trance to IDM.
Spacey female vocals mix with gauzy, textured guitars, field
recordings, and crisp drum programming to create incredibly
visual songs with the atmosphere of childhood and layers of
detail.
A mix of Shoegaze and Electronica, Elika is equal parts
Slowdive and Boards of Canada combined with elements from My
Bloody Valentine, Aphex Twin, and Flying Saucer Attack.
Their music washes neon-tinted melodies with multilayered,
psychedelic percussion.
ElikaÆs live setup is unusual for most bands. EvaÆs
processed ethereal vocals, analog keyboards, snare drum and
ride cymbal meld with BrianÆs treated guitar, keyboards, and
laptops. Accompanied by beat matched projections, their live
sound is an overwhelming mix of ambience, melody, and ass
shaking bass.
