EL TEN ELEVEN – SINGLE REVIEW

El Ten Eleven – Three and a Half Feet High
El Ten Eleven - Three and a Half Feet High and Rising
and Rising

Release Date: Out Now

I don’t usually go in for videos of bands performing their songs in the studio – it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to picture that when you hear the music and see a picture of the band – but this is the second such video I’ve seen from Californian duo El Ten Eleven and I find them mesmerising. Essentially, the video for new single ‘Three and a Half Feet High and Rising’ is just two dudes jamming out in the studio with a huge amount of equipment and some loop pedals but it just looks like they are totally in the moment and loving the act of making music together. This track has an uplifting vibe to it that entirely holds your attention for the full six minutes even without any vocals or some twerking in a gold bikini – go figure, right? Anyway, this will divide opinion I’m sure but for me it’s a slice of pure escapism and something I could have on a loop for an hour or so while I got on with something I’d been putting off for too long. Is anti-procrastination rock a thing? It is now.
