With both a rich voice and a musical style that straddle soul, adult pop, rock, blues, and gospel, singer/guitarist Liz Brasher developed her eclectic retro-soul sound from the church choirs of her home state of North Carolina and the vintage soul music she discovered while living in Chicago, Illinois.

from Painted Image 2019
Singer/guitarist Liz Brasher first tried her hand at songwriting as a young adult after studying up on a variety of 20th century American masters, including Stephen Foster, Lead Belly, and Bob Dylan. She found particular inspiration in the sounds of the Delta blues and Southern soul. On her full-length debut, Painted Image, those influences shine through an eclectic retro-soul. ..

from Sore Eros 2020
While the exploratory, psychedelic lo-fi of Sore Eros took root in the early 2000s as the D.I.Y. endeavor of frontman Robert Robinson, the project moved from CD-Rs to small labels and expanded its lineup by 2009's Second Chants... An unpredictable ride despite its consistent dreaminess, songs like catchy closer "Mirror," with its ghosts of Buddy Holly-style early rock, and the opener, "Backseat Bop," contain tempo changes among other structural diversions, and tracks vary in length from under three minutes to over ten. The album's shifting, dreamy disposition is matched by lyrics like first words "Open your eyes" and final ones "As you cut cards of tarot/I drop shards of mirror/It once filled me with terror/But now it's getting better." That song, "Mirror," ends appropriately with a minute-long instrumental resolution that finally delivers stillness.

From their beginnings as Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel (a Donovan reference), the guitar-less California band later known by just Mr. Elevator delved deeply into the sounds of psychedelia, from the strutting punk of the Doors to the dreamy haze of Pink Floyd to the sunny trippiness of a thousand paisley-clad unknowns. Led by the vision of keyboardist Tomas Dolas...

from Goodbye Blue Sky 2020
After two albums of keyboard-driven psych rock that shone like the flash of a paisley scarf on an overcast day, Mr. Elevator's third album Goodbye, Blue Sky is a much gloomier listening experience dominated by washes of synths, Tomas Dolas' downcast vocals, and melodies that don't just pluck at the heartstrings, but give them a big twang instead. It's a big change from the group's previous work, but Dolas guides things with the same questing, inspired (and guitar-free) approach as before and the results are as thrilling as a record that sounds too sad to get out of bed can be... Mr. Elevator already had a couple of records that positioned them as a band to watch for fans of weird and wonderful psychedelic music, Goodbye, Blue Sky makes good on that promise while shifting gears in fascinating fashion.
