Elliot Minor : 'Electric high'

Elliot Minor : 'Electric high'

 

Released: 5th October 2009

Label: Sony

 

I’ve never been able to successfully put Elliot Minor into a specific category of music. They’re not entirely welcome in the world of Rock for their parallels with the pop likes of McFly but such comparisons undersell these boys who are a little more mature and musically challenging for the tweeny pop rock types. So I guess they’re left floating in the ether for now.

Their latest single, 'Electric High', rings in a more mature sounding Elliot Minor. So much so that the bands past singles appear immature in comparison. The lyrics are a little more serious, the riffs are melodic and the chorus encourages one hell of a sing along. Overall: it’s a little less irritating.

The change isn’t drastic. This slightly more mature Elliot Minor will still attract all the fans that loved the likes of 'Parallel Worlds' and 'Jessica', but it’s definitely a step in the right direction for a band destined for great things.
