Elevated Lines

figure/ground/sound

Carrie Clark performing with the Elevated Lines

Both the earliest and much later decades of rock and roll history can be found embedded in the hard/soft sounds of the Elevated Lines, the lovely Miss Carrie Clark’s new project. There are traces of new wave, 90’s post-punk and even the Beach Boys criss-crossing paths in their songs in a way that feels like they are lovingly bumping into each other on the dance floor. Carrie’s luscious vocals weave through these sounds with confidence and grace.

At their EP release last night at Skinny’s Ballroom in Austin, they were layered up with the supernatural electronic sounds of Lyman Hardy and the projected rainbow hatchings and cross-hatchings of Steven Fishman. With 3D glasses, no less!

Elevated Lines are like a floating drawing rocking back and forth in the breeze. Go here to hear: www.elevatedlines.com
