Cassingles review on further dot
The first review of Orca, Attack’s! new (cas)single, You Won’t Remember This, is out and it’s lovely.
“‘You Won’t Remember This’ sounds like it should belong on a Dirty Projectors or Fleet Foxes album, all languid acoustic guitars, yearning vocals from Rodriguez and haunting, elegiac harmonies from Kelly. Around the halfway mark the track suddenly pivots into a cloud of exultant wordless vocals, a jubilant beat and sounds that seem to soar gracefully skyward. On the flip, the instrumental ‘World Map’ is all low-slung bass, wonky melodies and unfathomable rhythms. Eclecticism rules.”
Many thanks to Mat! You Won’t Remember This is available now for presale, out on April 1. Read the full review over on furtherdot.com.
Aural Aggravation Review of ISOLATION AND REJECTION
Aural Aggravation has a very nice review of the ISOLATION AND REJECTION VOL 1 comp up, with these kinds words about my contribution:
Elizabeth Joan Kelly’s ‘Waking Up With a Cat on My Face’ perfectly encapsulates that moment or panic, that abject spasm through a minute and three quarters of swampy discord and sonic confusion.

Interview on Parenthetical Recluse
Tyler Weaver had me on Parenthetical Recluse as his inaugural interview for a new series. Hear me ramble on about existential dread, Philip Glass, Earth, Wind & Fire, solo accordion free jazz, MAD MEN, and more (very on brand, right?). Read here, and a big thanks to Tyler for asking great questions, and for the kind words about my music.
A Poem For Your Song – Harm
I love creative takes on reviewing music. A Poem For Ur Song is exactly what it sounds like–they write a poem, based on your song. Here’s what they had for “Harm:”
100 seconds until orange blood drips down the mirrored wall of the blue sky. death dressed and blooming as cryptotrama asprata will turn our corpses all mycena chlorophos under the blacklights that some titans will hang from the rubble of their ashen terrarium.
I love it. See more from A Poem for Ur Song on Twitter.
Beau Travail video premiere on THE LAST BLOG
It’s out! Thanks to THE LAST BLOG for premiering “Beau Travail,” the LAST video from Farewell, Doomed Planet! TLB also had these generous comments to offer:
“Elizabeth Joan Kelly has made an audiovisiual exploration that feels most akin to Twin Peaks Season 2 Part 8 (if you know, then you know…)
But really, it stands alone, just as Elizabeth floats as an astronaut into the great cosmic abyss. This is something that really lit a flare in our inbox.”
Catch the video here, and be sure to follow THE LAST BLOG, a new venture from Zola Jesus and Devon Welsh(!!!).
