"no matter where I go I see you follow me..."
The brain thumping alt electronica of "HELP ME!" by Peruvian solo artist $elfsame with help from V!T! (an alternative band from Chicago) feels like an artful car crash of sounds. The skater punk on steroids sound, the youthful abandon made me think of an amalgam of artists like KennyHoopla, Current Joys, Vundabar, Surf Curse etc, but then I haven't been on a skateboard in years, ha.
$elfsame shares:
"V!T! and I came up with this song because we loved post punk, but we wanted to create something more danceable that could be played at parties. Both of us coming from alternative rock back rounds came up with the catchiest chorus and song in our opinion!"
"HELP ME!" cast images of the raucous feeling of being skate or surf rats doing what they do, running away from any hints of adulthood for as long as they can. I dig it. Being young and feeling pretty much invincible are one of the best times. For 5 solid years I was one of those surf rats until I discovered music, played in bands for another 5 years. One of the most memorable decades.
