Elysian Fields

"reliable purveyors of dream-pop and alt-rock noir"

“What the Thunder Said”, Elysian Fields' thirteenth studio album, follows a fruitful period for the New York band, after the critically acclaimed “Once Beautiful Twice Removed” (2022). 

The quartet recorded “What the Thunder Said” in New York with long-time Elysian Fields collaborators Ed Pastorini and Thomas Bartlett. In this sparse tale of nature visions and urban landscapes, the New York duo ask the big questions, untangling the web of the world around us to extract the obvious and the moods that lead to the songwriting that only Elysian Fields has the secret to. Jennifer's voice is sometimes delicate (“This World Is Just A World”, “Strawberry Moon”), sometimes bold and indomitable (“Must Have Meant”, “Changeling”, “Know Not Whorl”), sometimes celestial (“Before The Crashing Waves”, “I Can Give You That”). Whether through the prism of mythology or the tragi-comic, but without ever abandoning its poetry of quest and desire, Elysian Fields continues to inhabit the world and depict the human experience in all its depth.
