a finales de los 90, emi honda dejó su japón natal para instalarse en la isla de vancouver, canadá. allí, inspirada por su entorno natural, comenzó a crear esculturas de compleja estructura mecánica que fue exhibiendo en galerías locales. fue precisamente a través de una de esas esculturas como conoció a jordan mckenzie, quien vivía en la isla y trabajaba en proyectos similares en la escuela de arte. su afinidad les llevó a convertirse en buenos amigos, a trasladarse a montreal y a producir juntos una serie de colaboraciones de arte visual, instalaciones y creaciones sonoras.

Elfin Saddle rehabilitieren Progressive Folk. Im März veröffentlichen die eigentümlichen Kanadier ihr neues Album. Emi Honda, Jordan McKenzie und Nathan Gage haben ihre eigene Vorstellung von zeitgemässer Folkmusik. Elfin Saddle klingen erfrischend anders als alles, was derzeit unter dem Label Folk verhandelt wird. Statt auf Sängerknabenchörchen und Fingerpicking setzen die drei Musiker aus Montreal auf fernöstlich angehauchte Psychedelia. Ein schamanischer Zauber entrückt den Hörer in eine Zwischenwelt. Am 15. März veröffentlichen Elfin Saddle bei Constellation ihr drittes Album "Devastates". War das Vorgängeralbum "Ringing For The Begin [...]

Coming out March 6th on Constellation , here is a track from the forthcoming Elfin Saddle record, Devastates . It's an edit of the track "the Changing Wind," which I wouldn't have guessed since the music flows so well here. The song opens up with some nice acoustic arpeggios and ominous drones. Once things start to take off, these folky boy-girl vocals come in and give the whole thing a charming and rootsy feel. These root's ain't in America, though! The accordions that fly in sound like they're playing Scottish bagpipe melodies to me. [...]
Elfin Saddle, a Montreal based folk band with a pretty wide experimental streak has finally come back into the light after a few months of not hearing much with the announcement of a show on March 3 at Club Lambi. To say the least, I was impressed by their last release Wurld . Its not [...]

BRANDON RAE: My city is the sixth largest across both Canada and the United States. The second largest French-speaking city in the world. Montreal is a genuine mosaic, and dwelling place for an overwhelming number of talented musicians. We love both Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre. We're proud of Clues and Wolf Parade. As talented as these groups may be, none strike a chord with me quite like Elfin Saddle. The band is comprised of Emi Honda (vocals, ukelele, drums, accordion, singing saw), Jordan McKenzie (vocals, guitar, accordion, drums, banjo, xylophone) and Nathan Gage (contrabass, tuba). Elfin Saddle [...]

After yesterday's announcement , most of the blog world reacted with a collective "meh", a half hearted shrug and moved on. The relative security of the list – and keep in mind, this is a list where artists like Chad VanGaalen and Patrick Watson are deemed safe, so obviously, the jury is doing something right – continues a trend where the boundaries placed on successful, independent music continue to contract, refusing to let artists stretch for things beyond their (or maybe our) grasp. That's probably why I've been listening to the new [...]
Elfin Saddle resulta de uma estranha combinação de um canadiano, Jordan McKenzi e, de uma pequena japonesa, Emi Honda, sendo ambos artistas plásticos. O seu universo criativo é povoado por espíritos, deuses e outras criaturas oriundas das suas imaginações. Como artistas plásticos, têm recebido os mais diversos elogios pelas suas complexas instalações que envolvem motores, órgãos, comida entre outras coisas. Recentemente envolveram-se no meio musical, como forma de expressar a sua criatividade. O mundo musical não é de todo estranho a este duo, pois, já escrevem músicas há algum tempo, tendo inclusive um disco gravado, Gigantic Mother/ Wounded Child. [...]

If you're looking for some solid indie rock on Saturday night in Austin, head over to Mohawk for a show by Spencer Krug's band Sunset Rubdown . Music starts at 9pm with opening act Witchies followed by Elfin Saddle . Tickets are relatively cheap and on sale now for $13 . Better seize the opportunity to see such a talented act in an intimate setting as you'll probably never see Mr. Krug's full time band Wolf Parade in such a setting. Sunset Rubdown is touring in support of their new album [...]
I should probably be out at the Northside Festival right now brining you more coverage of the weekend's festivities. I am, however, a little too festivitied out. Nevertheless, I saw some great music this weekend at Brooklyn's mini music fest. Here's a brief recap. Friday night brought me to Studio B for the first time, a very cool venue nestled on an out-of-the-way street in Williamsburg. The first band I caught was an extremely cool, extremely different three piece called Elfin Saddle . Their music is definitely inspired by Asian scales and instruments, and the amount of [...]
