ERICA ELEKTRA
Erica Elektra is a mystical and magical songwriter living in sunny Los Angeles. She sings, makes beats, plays piano and guitar...then puts it all together to make it sound like electro-pop gypsy folk! Imagine eighties synth-pop having an affair with bittersweet indie-rock with a side of spirit animals...Human League meets Chairlift meets Joni Mitchell.
"That's Intense" is her first solo album, and chronicles her experiences of love gone wrong as well as the uncertainties that life brings. The stories are told through her sweetly lilting voice, backed by music that is bouncy yet tinged with sadness. Throughout the album, Erica expresses hope for what's to come and faith in the universal guidance she receives. Dan Horne (Beachwood Sparks, Lilys, Music Go Music, Chapin Sisters) of Lone Palm Studios co-produced the album and lends his country-twinged instrumentation in order to bring a grounded earthiness to the songs.
Formerly, Erica fronted Hearts of Palm UK, an all-girl indie-pop trio whose album debuted in CMJ’s top 10. The band was described by the Los Angeles Times as “twee pop with honeyed vocals, tart lyrics and twitchy beats.”
