Video: Major Organ and the Adding Machine Trailer

Starring in surrealist films? Stumbling upon comic-book cover art? These are just some of the questions answered by Elf Power as they continue to celebrate the release of their 10th album. Not many bands can comfortably talk about the release of their 10th full-length album. Then again, most bands aren't Elf Power. Andrew Rieger's band Elf Power released their eponymous tenth record late last year.
