Press quotes about “So Elated”

A few snippets from recent reviews of So Elated’s new self-titled album:

“There is an honesty that underpins their music… an honesty that is so necessary for now… This is soul-stirring music for folk who weren’t lobotomized when they decided to follow Jesus.” (Something Beautiful)

“So Elated officially assume the mantle of [David] Bazan and [Derek] Webb at their self-critical, post-evangelical, anti-religious best …[So Elated] shows a great amount of musical and lyrical, including theological, maturity.  This is one group to keep your eyes on in the coming years.” (Fire and the Rose)

“…the songs carry with them a quality that makes them hard to put out of mind. This is best exemplified in the song ‘Viral,’ which lives up to its title with its inexplicable ability to occupy your thoughts for days” (Soul-Audio)

“Meandering mid-west sound that is both familiar and fresh… At times Beatle-esque, at others Waterdeep meets Wilco, [So Elated] have crafted an appealing mix of thoughtfully produced Americana for the soul” (The Canny Shark)
