Elsen Price’s phantasmagorical world of soundscapes

Elysian Fields live: delicate melodies and fat grooving tunes

But of course, this is a band overflowing with imaginative musicians. Jenny Eriksson’s electric viola da gamba is the anchor around which the good ship Elysian Fields sails. She was clearly enjoying herself onstage, relaxed and on fire.

Review: Elysian Fields – ‘What Should I Say’

Elysian Fields is a seamless combination of old and new, composed and improvised, experimental and planned, intuitive and calculated. The result is like a thick winter blanket: warm and beautiful.
