Elf Power formed in 1994 and have spent the last 12 years releasing seven albums, two eps, a handful of singles, and touring America, Europe,and Japan. 2005 found the band hard at work again, writing and recording their seventh album enititled "Back to the Web" on a new label, Rykodisc. Currently Andrew Rieger, Derek Almstead, Jimmy Hughes, Eric Harris, Laura Carter, and Heather McIntosh (the members of Elf Power) just completed their eighth album entitled "In A Cave" which will also be released by Rykodisc (March 2008). "In A Cave" is a lushly orchestrated mix of eclectic songwriting that is sure to conjure up memories of 1997's "When the Red King Comes", but with a more mature approach to arrangements, lyrics, and instrumentation. Members of Elf Power also run their own label/conservation group, Orange Twin. The label has released albums from Elf Power, Neutral Milk Hotel, Sibylle Baier, the Instruments and many more. Proceeds from Orange Twin sales go towards supporting the land conservation group, which own 150 acres of land on the outskirts of Athens.
