Let me know (radio edit)
CDAMAZ30
Available digitally as a single from 12 Sep 2010
From the album 'Caught in the headlights'.
"As city reporters on Brighton’s many musical excursions, it’s sometimes difficult to get a national picture of our bands – unfortunately it’s often because there simply isn’t one. Not the case with Absent Elk – we’ve heard them on Jonathon Ross, Dermot’s a big fan after hosting a live session, and it’s not hard to work out why. This is a band for whom the term indie seems too reductive, such is the expansive sound and effortless scaling of anthemic heights they achieve with each successive release. Radio edit and instrumental versions on our promo CD suggest they have serious ambitions beyond our city walls – with absolute justification." - BrightonSource

"'Emily' shows off the bands penchant for slick guitars, soaring choruses and neat backing vocals. The track comes complete with a dynamic change of pace two-thirds of the way in, illustrative of the twists and turns Absent Elk enjoy throwing the listeners way during their best moments" - Shout4Music
"The Elk's single is tight as a drum skin; a catchy portion of indie pop fare which should be cash in the bank for any radio plugger worth their salt, boding extremely well for their debut album ' Caught in the Headlights'" - BrightonSource

"The first golden apple from the “debut album” tree of English-Norwegian indie-poppers Absent Elk falls with the title “Change My World” engraved upon its ever-shiny and juicy surface… a wistful dream of searing melodies and thoughtful progressions, conjuring images of summer meadows, long sunlit evenings, and bloomed orchards to great success" - Rock On Webzine
Sun and water
Released May 2009
From the album 'Caught in the headlights'.
Absent Elk's debut single “Sun & Water” is available now as a digital download. UK newspaper, The Guardian championed the single, stating: “This soars majestically, in an Indie kind of way ...we are looking forward to a whole album of extreme pop terror a la Sun & Water".
Dermot O'Leary (who frequently plays "Sun and Water" on his BBC Radio 2 show), had this to say of the track: "One of the best bands we've had in session for a very long time ...Beautiful"
