Review: Elder 'Innate Passage' (progressive rock/psychedelic rock)

Join Pete Pardo for a review of the new album from prog/psych/heavy rock act Elder, 'Innate Passage' #elder

[SomeSong]

They are quickly becoming one of the must-hear bands every time they put something out. I find their songs so interesting.

[Jamie.Laszlo]

It's an amazing album. It might be their best.

[Garvs]

Easily a favorite band from the last 10 years. Just got my copy today and can't wait to dig in...

[ElGuapo]

Amazing to hear the evolution from Dead Roots. Elder is owning it.

[TheHawkeyecub]

Thank you for giving love to this amazing band. When I first listened to Lore (my first Elder album), I felt like it was a band whose sound was made just for me. Such a unique combination of elements. I've loved basically everything they have done except the first album, which is just ok to me. They build on all of the music history we love and bring their own beautiful take on it. For those who have stopped looking for new music, you are missing out on some truly special releases like this.

Hey Peter. Just listening to the first track on this disc. Band unknown to me. Absolute killer. Love it. Thanks for the heads up...invaluable service, as aye... 👏👏👏

Love this band, pre ordered this the day it went up and it did not disappoint.
Pete check out Nicks solo album, Delving - Hirschbrunnen from last year.

[gjdc]

Superb band, their best record so far.

[danielfarrell]

This band is so underated and this album must be their pinnacle. It gets better with more listens too. Amazing album

[bwana]

Just got the white wax from Stickman in Germany, sounding amazing as ever…you gotta catch these guys live if you haven’t seen them play yet…can’t wait to hear them play some of these Innate Passage tunes on their next east coast jaunt

[the_real_schopenhauer]

Yeah, this album rocks, even better than Omens. Btw, Nick DiSalvo also released a solo album last year under the moniker Delving. It's titled Hirschbrunnen and it's a beautiful instrumental album somewhere between Progressive/Psychedelic Rock, Post Rock & Electronica.

[BretAHart]

I've listened to it 3 times and it's my favorite from them, 5 out of 5. Awesome album!

[danebrackvitch]

This CD is awesome. Thanks Pete for introducing me to this band a while back.

[Ricketts]

One of my favorite bands in the last decade. I was fortunate to see them live in a small bar in downtown Oakland in 2018 (I think), between “Reflections of a Floating World” (in my top 10 favorite rock albums of all time) and “Omens.” Thanks for featuring, I love this one, as well!

[WCSkills]

I don't say it often but this is a perfect album. Not a weak moment at all.

[MorbidVizions]

Great review man, thanks for the video!

[Jellybeantiger]

Love this band, I call em desert prog.

[weirddebbiem]

Another band and album I will give a listen. Thank you for the review, Pete!

[carygernertheoneandonly]

You gotta checkout Phantom spell. Hard rock prog. You'll love it

[alexposilkin]

It really is amazing how these guys keep up such high quality material on every release. Got into them when Reflections came out and it blew my mind. Omens is addictive, and Passage is stellar. I find that their sound also mixes in some elements of 90s/00s indie and post rock, along with bluesy stoner/heavy rock, psych, and prog. And Nick’s vocals always sounded like a huskier Perry Ferrel to me. Happy to see Pete so psyched about this album and band.
