4 out of 5 stars An Elefant never forgets.......2004-05-28

New York garage-rockers Elefant hints at potential greatness in "Gallery Girl," a promising EP with three solid, sometimes scintillating rock songs. There isn't quite enough here to be satisfying, but it promises great things for their debut, "Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid."

A rhythmic beat kicks off the title track, before blossoming into a smooth bass-heavy rocker. "Annie" is a bit softer and lower-key, with some faint string accompaniments to the steady guitar riffs. And "Bokkie" comes full circle with some catchy, slightly repetitive rock, led by a sputtery fuzz-guitar.

Elefant comes across as a bit smoother and less rough-around-the-edges than similar bands like The Strokes. But they keep that chaotic garage-rock edge with things like the magnificently anarchic, sputtering riff at the end of "Gallery Girl," speckled with exhilarated whoops and yowls.

But giving a different edge to the garage-rock is a handful of softer flourishes -- some fuzz guitar worthy of Neutral Milk Hotel, and the swelling strings of "Annie."Vocalist Diego Garcia adds a little spice with his deep voice; he's far from impassioned-sounding, but he does a nice job with the mournful bits like "Lose yourself... lose yourself!".

"Gallery Girl" is an enticing listen for Elefant's debut, and fans of New York garage-rock will probably devour this colorful EP.

4 out of 5 stars Garage Rock makes a come back.......2004-04-17

Garage rock at its finest. Punchy guitar lines give a kick ass presentation to this bands 80's vibe. This is definitely the album to buy if you are a fan of The Velvet Underground, The Smiths, Roxy Music or even the Strokes. Very Good.
