El Ten
Eleven's video "Yellow Bridges,"created by Cyriak, the award winning British animator known for
his bizarre, trippy and sometimes disturbing animations,
premiered on Vice's music channel Noiseytoday. The surreal,
animated video posits the band's driving, circuitous instrumental with a
forest that operates like a factory where twigs and branches act like
mechanical arms and tree stumps act like cogs in a machine, and could only
have come from the same mastermind that brought the world YouTube sensations
like his wildly popular"Cows & Cows & Cows" video that has
nearly 18 million views. "I'd like to thank El Ten Eleven for giving me
the long dreamed-for opportunity to make a video out of two twigs and a
leaf," says Cyriak. "The achievement of this song is that it didn't
make me want to kill myself after listening to it all day everyday for a
month." Bassist/guitaristKristian Dunn returned the
compliment by exclaiming: "Working with Cyriak is considerably less
painful than walking into a sliding glass door."
"Yellow Bridges"is from El Ten Eleven's forthcoming
album, Transitions, dueNovember 6 on the
band's Fake Record Label, and is the the A-side to the digital
single available on iTunes and 7-inch vinyl as of today. The vinyl single can
be ordered from FakeRecordLabel.com and will come with a
free digital download of "Yellow Bridges," the exclusive b-side "3K" and
the music video edit of "Yellow Bridges" immediately after
purchase. The single can be purchased on iTunes at
Transitions is the Los Angeles/San Diego
instrumental duo's fifth album and features seven tracks that encapsulate the
life-changing events (divorce, marriage, birth, moving to different cities)
that have been happening to the pair over the last couple of years. The LP is
filled with the band's trademark guitar trickery, mesmerizing looping,
shape-shifting tempos, intricate time signatures and melodic pop arrangements
but also features them experimenting with new sonics, hip-hop drum beats and
longer song structures, as evidenced on the title track.
El Ten Eleven are highly regarded for their live show, a
jaw-dropping display of stellar and inventive musicianship, highly melodic
pop-based song structures and dance-inducing rhythms, and will return to the
road next month. Armed with their signature doubleneck bass/guitar, an
arsenal of pedals, acoustic and electronic drums and their new album, the duo
will embark on a six-week cross country run on October 10 inTucson.
They tour will hit 31 cities, including New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, DC, Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin,
where they will perform at the Fun Fun Fun Fest on November
