Description

The music of El Ten Eleven has been embraced by fans of many genres – from math rock, to jazz, to lo-fi hip-hop. The duo s sound is sharply evocative in mood and feeling, yet simultaneously abstract and meditative. The combination of these qualities has stimulated the imagination of the group s fans, and gives space for listeners to assign their own value and meaning to the sounds. I m aiming for emotional impact when I come up with songs, Dunn explained. Does it move me? Does it make me feel something? Sometimes it doesn t. Sometimes it s technically interesting but it doesn t make me feel anything. But I don t want music that s interesting. I want music that s emotionally resonate. Further details their next full-length album, produced by Sonny DiPerri (DIIV, Portugal. The Man) won t be announced until 2022, but the SoCal pair have shared a preview with the release of New Year s Eve , a song about cautious optimism. It was written while the pandemic seemed to have a chance of ending and there was lots of political change in the air. But even the most well laid plans for New Year s Eve celebrations often end up being disappointing, thus the metaphor.
