Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid

If you like the Strokes, you should be spending this week’s CD allowance on Elefant’s first full-length recording. This New York- based band has the same angular, punchy guitar and bass, sticky melodies, ennui-filled boy vocals, and pointed lyrics as the Strokes. But with Elefant, you get a little Brit-pop flavor from vocalist Diego Garcia (originally from Argentina but sounding British). Catchy arrangements grab you right away with the opener, "Make Up," and by track three, "Misfit," you know the ebullient style of guitarist Mod is going to stick in your head long after the CD stops playing. "Bokkie" is tailor-made for radio but is completely fresh and irresistible, and in a similar vein, "Love" bristles with a pop energy that’s both understated and relentless. --Lorry Fleming

Delicious!!.......2007-06-15

This is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time - intelligent, funny lyrics, and a cool 1980's, David Bowie sensibility. What more could you ask for? Haunting, catchy lyrics that will ensnare you in their cotton candy web of deliciousness? Your wish is granted . . .

Excellent CD!.......2005-11-20

Sure, this CD may offer sounds similar to those of the Strokes, but Elefant throws in some of their own moods, sounds, and ideas to a sound that only grazes the Strokes. Setting alone by itself, this CD is a masterpiece of beautifully crafted melodies that just leave you breathless and asking for more. When I first started listening to this CD, I pushed the repeat button because I knew I would want to listen to this CD at least three times through. And in the course of the first 24 hours of owning this CD, I listened to it near to 6 times. I absolutely love this CD and it is a great addition to anyone's music collection. This is great for any indie fans, but I think anyone should at least try this CD once.

Surprising and Refreshing.......2005-09-30

I got this a while ago. It's really quite a fun album. The basslines are dreamy, the singer's voice is melodic and lilting.

This album starts on a fun, romantic note with the song, "Make Up". Seems to be about love and sex and being yourself. I really can't tell because the lyrics are all over the place, but this is one of my favorite songs on the disc.

It continues in that general vein. The disc then moves on to "Now That I Miss Her" which is definitely a fun track. They have that melancholy yet upbeat sound down perfectly.

I really can't say enough good things about this. However, I think YOU, the intelligent buyer, should trust your instincts. You have my words here, singing it's praise...but it all comes down to YOU. What do YOU want?

I wanted this.

an old friend, a new friend.......2005-09-24

this cd is so, so good. the first five tracks especially are top. they have great sounds and lyrics that seem familiar, like old friends you grew up with. but their sound is also just original enough that it's also like that new best friend you want to spend all your days getting to know better. one of my favorites of the year.

Plenty of hooks.......2005-08-09

Yes, they have the New York Sound. I can say that I REALLY don't like the Strokes, but I love this cd, and their 1st ep as well. For those that think these guys are just imitating what's popular out there (someone mentioned the Bravery), please know that this cd is already 2 and a half years old, so they're part of the original NYC lineup. If you know and like Longwave and Interpol, I think you'll like this cross-breed of the two, mixed with more danceable new wave moments. This is summer music for sure.
