"That Someone" is the new single from Montclair, NJ-based art pop band ELK CITY
[2022-08-30]
Art pop band Elk City shares 'That Someone', a song exploring the dual nature of self and other, excitement and dismay. The sound is vibrant, raw-edged, guitar-driven and maybe even a little scary.
The first single from their forthcoming 'Above the Water' LP, opens a new chapter in the Montclair, New Jersey-based band's evolutionary story, showcasing a new guitar-rich lineup featuring members of Versus, Luna and the Psychedelic Furs side-project Feed.
Elk City revolves around its founders, artist/vocalist Renee LoBue and producer/drummer Ray Ketchem. Ketchem's Magic Door Recording studio is homebase, where the band creates their uniquely swirling dream pop for insomniacs.
"That Someone" and the full "Above the Water" LP will be released via the new Magic Door Record Label, founded by Guided by Voices drummer Kevin March with Ketchem and LoBue. These three neighbors, collaborators and friends launched the label with a simple mission to release music created by the rich community of artists who surround them.

"That Someone" Lyrics:
******************************************
I know where I need to bend my head
Nobody’s fashion gets me way ahead
Slide of hand
I know I can believe
One kiss in my pocket
I know I can be
Flying overhead when I didn’t have a plane
I knew just enough
I did not go insane
I went so high
Lost my soul
I went so high
Lost my cell phone
Oh, here comes that someone
Oh, here comes that someone
A little velvet plane I could not reach
A little out of touch
Enough to break free
How did I know to get so high
When nobody ever tried to stop (me)
