www.myspace.com/elevado		 Athens, GA's avant-rock maestros Elevado have returned with a fourth album that blends psychedelic guitar lines with low-end dub bass and electronic drum beats. After some keyboard noise, the CD kicks off with "Song of a Purple Man" which rolls and lumbers like "Poptones" from PiL's second edition AKA Metal Box. Then the title track teeters between early Police and some of the early '80s UK anarchist bands like Zounds, The Mob or even AOS3. The rest continues in this hybrid fahion, either as a more lackadaisical Walkmen, or as a less ego-swaggering, drug cavorting birthday party. Personally, I love a band thkeeps me guessing and Elevado does just that." The Big Takeover

Both tracks are totally keeping with the band’s retro-futurist approach, and are cool as heck.” Stomp and Stammer Magazine

“Our Turn Came Tonight” is a hook-ridden blast of sonic pop-ness, the alter ego, “Purple Man,” is an abstract reflection of the other: A small taste of the genius that is Elevado ... perfectly crafted pop songs that echo influences from New York’s ’70s legends Television ... a unique, gender-bending musical existence reminiscent of Bowie during his Low years."

Dedicated to the Memory is the agreeably moody and intimate third release from the Atlanta-based band Elevado.The album was recorded and produced locally at Chris Bishop's Radium Recording, and Lightning Rod Records will release Dedicated to the Memory. Elevado subtly organizes its disparate textures, from the sustained lush drone and other synthetic offerings of former Athenian Don Dudenhoeffer, to the angular and able guitar work of Cain Wong. Maryn Vance's neo-futurist violin provides another ambient layer, which adds dissonance to ..." Flagpole Magazine Read the entire review

 "Listening to Atlanta band elevado, its shocking that their new record hasn't found its way onto some hipster indie label. What with their completely realized jangle-pop perfection, which recalls Television, Galaxie 500, The Mekons and Guided by Voices, there has to be a home in the hearts of self-respecting music nerds all across the college radio dial for a band this good." Nashville Rage
