Top notch first album debut from these classy Elks. Both the album and the band ooze quality and potential. Whether on the album or live, the guys always deliver a first-class product and Caught In The Headlights will not disappoint. All the songs are well crafted and delivered and their album demonstrates the band's range, diversity and musicianship. With only a few listens you'll have these songs in your head and you'll be hooked. Superb!
This is the most consistent album of class songwriting i have heard in a long time. There is absolutely no chance you will be disappointed. Personally I prefer the slightly less poppy tracks than the likes of 'cannibals', but they are all fantastic and serve their purpose. First Guitar sounds like a huge hit to me. Sun and Water, Nothing I Can Do, Queen of Hearts and Bleeding Ink are right up my alley too. Comfort or Amuse is very moving, and very beautiful. Better than you is a party, and even jazzy in places. Something for everyone, but yet it all makes sense together. Great musicianship and creativity. Awesome debut...
